Artelys and Dash Optimization announce
Xpress-Kalis
PARIS and LONDON
Artelys SA and Dash
Optimization Ltd. today announced the release of Xpress-Kalis,
the new Constraint Programming software component for the
Xpress-MP Suite. Through Xpress-Kalis, the Constraint Programming
functionality of the Artelys Kalis solver becomes available
in the Xpress-MP Mosel environment, allowing the user to formulate
and solve Constraint Programming (CP) models in the Mosel
language.
Xpress-Kalis brings the following major
benefits:
•
high level language for working with CP models,
•
use standard Mosel data handling facilities (ODBC) with CP
models + ease of use (predefined search strategies) + open
entry points (user search heuristics, user-defined binary
constraints) for more advanced/specific uses.
Mosel and Kalis have proven track records for large applications,
have the flexibility required for research, and are easy to
use and to learn.
The Mosel environment lends itself as a platform for combining
different solvers, in particular Xpress-Kalis with Xpress-Optimizer
for the implementation of hybrid CP/MIP algorithms. Furthermore,
users now have the ability to write their own solution heuristics.
You will find more information about Artelys Kalis here.
