AMPL Optimization
AMPL Optimization builds the algebraic modeling language of the same name - a tool that lets engineers and analysts describe huge, messy real-world decision problems in clean mathematical notation and then hand them to any of dozens of solvers. Born at Bell Labs in the 1980s and now an independent California company, AMPL is used by more than 100 corporations across 40-plus industries to run optimization in production, from power grids and supply chains to portfolios and airline schedules.
