Dear all,

There is a recent software survey on optimization packages from INFORMS also published online under: https://doi.org/10.1287/orms.2019.03.05

I am wondering, why OptaPlanner not part of the survey due to the fact, that it is already available for more than a decade.

Apologies, if there is already a thread on that, which I was eager to find but failed and if this question may not fully fit to the group.

Thx and br,
M.K.

That is a very good question. There's an e-mail address at the bottom of that article, it should be worth asking them.


OptaPlanner is very well known in the Java/Kotlin/Scala enterprise world,
but has not that many appearances in the academic / INFORMS world. That's a shame.

It has radically different focus, as it's "OO/FP first" [1],
but I 'd love to see more interaction with the academic / INFORMS world and the greater Operations Research community.
There is much we can learn from each other!
