Python Optimization Modeling Objects (Pyomo)

William Hart(wehartsandia.gov)

Abstract: We describe Pyomo, an open-source tool for modeling optimization applications in Python. Pyomo can be used to define abstract problems, create concrete problem instances, and solve these instances with standard solvers. Pyomo provides a capability that is commonly associated with algebraic modeling languages like AMPL and GAMS. Pyomo leverages the capabilities of the Coopr software, which integrates Python packages for defining optimizers, modeling optimization applications, and managing computational experiments.
