Description

AIMMS is an algebraic modeling language coupled with a data driven user-interface builder. With AIMMS you also have direct access to the worlds fastest solvers. It allows you to create interactive models and model-based reports quickly and easily. Several major companies and institutions world-wide have used the AIMMS technology to build their applications.

Algebraic modeling language

You will find that using an algebraic modeling language to build a model-based application offers a number of major advantages over using other sorts of technologies. The most notable advantage is that it allows you to concentrate on specifying your application, instead of having to worry about its implementation.

Integrated User Interface builder

While other modeling systems force you to link to other software to provide a graphical end-user interface to your model, AIMMS has its own integrated user interface builder. It allows you to create an end-user application in a point-and-click manner using only one tool. Other advantages are: the graphical objects are completely compatible with the indexed sparse data structures used in AIMMS enhanced responsiveness to user changes.

World class solvers

Optimization models in AIMMS can be linear, non-linear, integer or network programs.
AIMMS provides access to the most powerful solvers for the solution of large sparse Linear Programming (LP), Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP), Nonlinear Programming (NLP) and Network Programming models.
Linear and Mixed-Integer Programming:

  • CPLEX (LP-Simplex, LP-Barrier, MIP)
  • XA (LP-Simplex, MIP)
    Nonlinear Programming:
  • CONOPT
    Network Programming:
  • CPLEX
  • NETSOL (Always available)
  • GUI Developments

    AIMMS offers a point-and-click GUI builder to create customized interactive model-based reports using a page editor. Such a report consists of button-linked pages with a variety of objects to represent the input and output data of your model.
