The MOPLAF framework

MOPLAF stands for

The MOPLAF framework aims at bringing the modeling world to the realm of Planning and Optimization applications.

The framework provides a number of components, allowing to build Planning or Optimization applications focusing on domain specific matters.

The framework takes care of all the technical concerns, like

• integration with Solvers, Databases, Reporting tools or GIS systems

• high level graphical components for viewing time or maps,

• high level logical components for managing space or time.

At contrario, the framework does not provide any Domain or Business specific feature. Its goal is to allow to build a functionality which is an 100% match to the business needs, starting from a white page.

This architecture relies on the following principles

• model driven: models drive everything; modeling is indeed the way to design and to build the functionality

• open: free to select third party software where wished or necessary, or to provide your own components; the framework is as little directive as possible

• open source: free to use, modify, contribute

• no reinvent the wheel: rely as much as possible on existing software; among others on the Eclipse platform and on the Eclipse Modeling Framework
