Abstract
OPL is a modeling language for mathematical programming and combinatorial optimization problems. It is the first modeling language to combine high-level algebraic and set notations from modeling languages with a rich constraint language and the ability to specify search procedures and strategies that is the essence of constraint programming. In addition, OPL models can be controlled and composed using OPLSCRIPT, a script language that simplifies the development of applications that solve sequences of models, several instances of the same model, or a combination of both as in columngeneration applications. This paper illustrates some of the functionalities of OPL using sport-scheduling, and job-shop scheduling applications. It also illustrates how OPL models can be composed using OPLSCRIPT on a simple configuration example.
