What's New in ILOG CPLEX 10.0 and the ILOG Optimization Decision Management System - the complete system of optimization tools and engines

We invite you to attend this free ILOG Workshop, being held in association with the EURO Conference in Reykavik on Sunday July 2, 2006.

See an overview of what's new in the latest milestone release of ILOG CPLEX - version 10.0. From significant performance improvements to new advanced MIP features and developer productivity tools, ILOG CPLEX 10 brings a new level of achievement in solving mathematical programming problems.

Gain insight into the new releases in the ILOG Optimization Decision Management System - ILOG OPL Development Studio 5.0 and ILOG Optimization Decision Manager 2.0. Model development, debugging and tuning have never been as easy and productive as with the new OPL 5, and the seamless integration with ODM 2 allows push-button generation of complete interactive CPLEX-based planning and scheduling applications. Make your optimization models accessible to business users with ILOG ODMS.

The workshop is free and open to anyone attending the EURO XXI Conference:

Presentation Abstracts

What’s New in ILOG CPLEX 10.0
ILOG CPLEX 10, released in January, 2006, is a major milestone in the evolution of CPLEX. This presentation will give you a preview of some of the new features in CPLEX 10. After a brief overview of what's inside the new release, more specific, technical reviews will be provided on some of the special new MIP features, including solution polishing, infeasibility analysis and indicator variables.

Overview of ILOG OPL Development Studio 4
After years of development, ILOG introduced last year a major new version of ILOG OPL Development Studio, ILOG's leading system for developing optimization applications. OPL provides a powerful modeling and scripting language to develop optimization models, a rich integrated development environment (IDE) to build and test models with external data sources, and a variety of interfaces (APIs) to embed OPL models into applications. Find out about the features in ILOG OPL Development Studio that enable faster and more robust development of ILOG CPLEX applications.

ILOG Optimization Decision Manager (ODM)
Creating interactive planning applications with ILOG CPLEX is now straight-forward. ILOG ODM provides out-of-the-box support for what-if scenarios, solution comparison, soft constraints, scenario editing with business rules and trade-offs between operational goals. Applications based on ODM 2.0 now also supports charts and custom graphical views in addition to tables, making optimization even more accessible to operations managers and planners.

ILOG OPL 5 and ODM 2 Integration
The all-new connector between OPL and ODM allows push-button generation of an ODM application from the structure of an OPL model. The displays of ODM input data, solution views, business goals and constraints can all be configured and further tailored to the particular application. The end result is tighter development cycles and enhanced collaboration between modelers and business users.

ILOG Optimization Decision Management System (ODMS)
ILOG ODMS is a complete solution for the development and deployment of optimization-based planning and scheduling applications. Included in the ODMS system are market-leading optimization engines (ILOG CPLEX for mathematical programming and ILOG CP for Constraint Programming), ILOG OPL Development Studio for model creation, testing and tuning, and ILOG ODM for generation of complete planning and scheduling applications.
