.NET developers get new Solver Foundation math library

The vice-president of Microsoft S.Somasegar development in his blog announced the release of the new .NET library Solver Foundation .



Solver Foundation is a library for mathematical programming, modeling, and optimization. With the help of mathematical modeling, decision-making problems are solved. Solver Foundation offers .NET-developers high-quality tools to optimize their solutions, allowing to solve models in applications, even developers who are not experts in mathematical modeling.

To date, the Solver Foundation has the following key features:

• modeling and solving scenarios using constraints, goals and data;
• Development in Optimization Modeling Language (OML), imperative in C #, functionally in F # or in any other .NET language;
• built-in problem solvers for the most common types of models;
• integration with popular solvers: Gurobi , Ziena Knitro , Frontline Solver Platform SDK , Mosek , FICO Xpress , LINDO and lp_solve;
• integration with popular Microsoft Office Excel and SharePoint tools for creating and solving models.

The Solver Foundation was added as an incubation project to the DevLabs lab, which is known to .NET developers for the following projects: Code Contracts, Dryad, Axum programming language, Doloto web projects optimization tool, asynchronous TPL Dataflow library.
