ABSTRACT: In today's global economy, organizations are being pushed to work smarter and faster. New products and/or services have to be conceived, developed and delivered in just months or even weeks. As a result of this rush to innovate and adapt, vendors and users of OR are looking to the Internet to leverage their resources.
We will demonstrate how optimization and modeling services can be packaged into component libraries based on industry standards such as ActiveX/Com and JavaBeans. This allows seamless integration of optimization into easily maintainable applications.
Through new Web-based standards, an environment is now created where distributed applications based on components are not only feasible but, even relatively easy to implement.
In this presentation, we will look at different scenarios about how innovative technologies such as XML and SOAP are creating new opportunities for solving optimization problems within distributed applications.
