AMPL is a comprehensive and powerful algebraic modeling language for linear and nonlinear optimization problems, in discrete or continuous variables.

Developed at Bell Laboratories, AMPL lets you use common notation and familiar concepts to formulate optimization models and examine solutions, while the computer manages communication with an appropriate solver.

AMPL's flexibility and convenience render it ideal for rapid prototyping and model development, while its speed and control options make it an especially efficient choice for repeated production runs.

AIMMS is the Advanced Integrated Mathematical Modeling System, a software tool for developing and deploying optimization models.

AIMMS enables fast model formulation in a tree structure without having to learn a programming language, and links seamlessly to a range of mathematical solvers. AIMMS offers procedural execution and flexible modeling concepts such as rolling horizons, column generation, outer approximation for MINLP, multi-start for NLP, Stochastic Programming, Benders decomposition, Robust Optimization, etc.

AIMMS offers an integrated GUI to visualize and interpret results. Data can be exchanged with many sources, from XML- and text-files to Excel and databases. Finally, models can be integrated with other applications via options such as the COM object, the Excel add-in and Web Services.
