Automatic sync between notebook and Model Builder Python code

Avoid the frequent and confusing reinitialize of the Model Builder Python code and the source notebook by automatically updating the Model Builder Python code from the notebook.

Jupyter notebook as a DO dashboard page

Similar to using a notebook as a source for optimization code, allow the user to write a notebook that contains visualization components for a dashboard page.Ideally, have an ability per cell to hide the cell, the output or both from the dashboard...

CPO Cumul function enhancement

Our COLA project Optimisation model concerns cyclic scheduling (an object is to be built every constant X amount of time) using cumul functions. Today we need to create intervals for every object to be build in order to calculate cumul functions f...

Remove constand offset variable if it equals zero

Exporting an LP-file creates a fixed variable representing a constant offset. For many users, this is often zero, so it shuld be optional or not appearing if the offset is zero. cf. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id...

Resolve race condition in CP optimizer engine

We've run into what seems to be a race condition in the cp optimizer engine with multiple workers. The issue occurs when a worker finds the initial solution right around the time limit. In this case, the engine believes that it timed out, but it a...

Time to Best

I want to put your attention on the optimization concept called "time to best" (ttb), i.e. the time needed by an optimization procedure to find the best solution regardless of the total time needed by its complete execution. Anyone working in the ...
