Brief overview of CPLEX Optimization Studio

CPLEX® Optimization Studio consists of a modeling language, two optimization engines to solve the models, and an integrated development environment to test and debug the models.

CPLEX Optimization Studio is composed of:

• OPL, the Optimization Programming Language, used to write mathematical models.
• An integrated development environment (IDE) that enables you to develop and test the models.
• The CPLEX Optimizer engine, to find solutions to models that require mathematical programming techniques.
• The CP Optimizer engine, to find solutions to models that require constraint programming techniques.
