Model library and widespread professional use

Top  Previous  Next

Today GAMS has become the de facto standard for optimization modeling in many fields.  Modelers may be able to adapt models or gain insights from others.  Some sources of models from which model features can be adapted include:

Models from experienced users that address similar problems that are closely related in concept or structure and can be adapted.
Models associated with textbooks.  For example, my book with Spreen contains many examples.  The book and the examples are available through my Web page http://agecon2.tamu.edu/people/faculty/mccarl-bruce/books.htm
Models are available through the GAMS library which is directly included in the IDE.  These cover many different settings.
References from the GAMS web pages http://www.gams.com/, http://www.gams.de/, or http://gamsworld.org/.

Each of these resources along with others are discussed in the chapter called Application Help: Model Library, Web Sites, Documentation.
