OMPR (Optimization Modelling Package) is a DSL to model and solve Mixed Integer Linear Programs. It is inspired by the excellent Jump project in Julia.
Here are some problems you could solve with this package:
- What is the cost minimal way to visit a set of clients and return home afterwards?
- What is the optimal conference time table subject to certain constraints (e.g. availability of a projector)?
- Sudokus
The Wikipedia article gives a good starting point if you would like to learn more about the topic.
This is a beta version. Currently working towards a first stable version for CRAN. At the moment not recommended for production systems / important analyses. Although most obvious bugs should be gone. Happy to get bug reports or feedback.

DSL
SolverSolvers are in different packages. ompr.ROI uses the ROI package which offers support for all kinds of solvers.
- with_ROI(solver = "glpk") solve the model with GLPK. Install ROI.plugin.glpk
- with_ROI(solver = "symphony") solve the model with Symphony. Install ROI.plugin.symphony
- with_ROI(solver = "cplex") solve the model with CPLEX. Install ROI.plugin.cplex
- … See the ROI package for more plugins.
