Abstract

Hexaly Optimizer is a global mathematical solver that integrates both exact and heuristic techniques to tackle complex optimization problems. At its core is an innovative modeling formalism based on nonlinear and set-oriented expressions, enabling users to write compact, expressive models for a wide variety of optimization problems. This formalism not only simplifies the modeling process but also provides the solver with higher-level structural information, allowing it to leverage advanced algorithmic techniques from the literature to obtain state-of-the-art performance on classic optimization domains such as routing, scheduling, and packing.

In this hands-on workshop, we will focus on the application of Hexaly to packing problems, showcasing how the solver’s set-based modeling capabilities naturally align with the structure of these problems. Participants will be guided through building and solving real-world packing problems using Hexaly Studio, a web-based integrated development environment designed specifically for optimization modeling. Hexaly Studio features intuitive dashboards, interactive widgets, and graphical solution visualizations, making it easy to both formulate models and interpret results. Through guided examples and interactive problem-solving, participants will gain hands-on experience with Hexaly and will be equipped to explore it further in their own research or applied projects.
