Why an Optimization Programming <strong>Language</strong>?Describes the reasons why <strong>OPL</strong> provides a modeling language to solve your optimizationproblems.Linear programming, integer programming, and combinatorial optimization problems arisein a variety of application areas, which include planning, scheduling, sequencing, resourceallocation, design, and configuration.In this context, <strong>OPL</strong> is a modeling language for combinatorial optimization that aims atsimplifying the solving of these optimization problems. As such, it provides support in theform of computer equivalents for modeling linear, quadratic, and integer programs, andprovides access to state-of-the-art algorithms for linear programming, mathematical integerprogramming, and quadratic programming.Within <strong>ILOG</strong> <strong>OPL</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>, <strong>OPL</strong> as a language has been redesigned to betteraccommodate <strong>ILOG</strong> Script, its associated script language.8I L O G O P L D E V E L O P M E N T S T U D I O L A N G U A G ER E F E R E N C E M A N U A L
