Technological Expertise  

Eurodecision performs expert appraisals of projects requiring optimisation technologies (e.g. operational research, linear programming, non-linear programming, linear programming using integers, constraint programming, heuristics and meta-heuristics, rule-based systems), including:

• analysis of legacy software solutions and optimisation algorithms
• configuration and tuning of optimisers
• consulting on optimisation techniques best suited to a given problem

For instance:

• performance measurement and improvement: architecture, computation time, solver selection, etc.
• robustness study
• comparison of various optimisation methods (e.g. heuristic vs. linear programming)
• Technology performance comparison using either commercial or open-source tools (e.g. between several mathematical programming solvers, and between several rule-based systems)

Eurodecision may develop prototypes for this type of project.
