Optimization & Modeling Library (OML) Toolkit

The KMS Optimization & Modeling Library (OML) Toolkit is a complete tool kit for linear and mixed-integer optimization as well as model management in a callable library. Optimization is provided by the library version of C-WHIZ. The hierarchical model database is compatible with DATAFORM and is managed by the same database manager; it can hold a family of problems, each one can have a matrix, data tables, and optimal solutions. The OML library is incorporated into your C-, FORTRAN-, or Basic-coded application to give you complete access to and control over your mathematical programming environment.

One of the OML’s noteworthy features relates to matrix manipulation. The OML matrix is created in an internal format on the model database, and allows the user to generate a matrix in any order or orientation that the data suggest. Furthermore, the matrix is stored such that the user can come back at any time to add, modify, and delete elements. Even after the matrix has been loaded into optimizer's workspace the matrix elements can be retrieved and modified by OML.

OML’s hierarchical workspace and model database provide a powerful, easy to use modeling system environment. The data-table paradigms and strong mnemonic features support indirect data references and other data-driven techniques.
