Dr. Jacob Feldman announced availability of a new open source product “Java Solver” that provides a very simple API for modeling and solving optimization problems in Java. This is probably the simplest API for adding optimization components to business decisioning software with a minimal learning curve. It doesn’t compete with existing Constraint and Linear Solvers but rather helps to incorporate them into Java-based decision making applications. Java Solver is freely available from JavaSolver.com under the terms of LGPL and can be used together with any BR&DM products. See Introductory Example
