MOSDEX - A New Standard for Data Exchange with Optimization Solvers

MPS format, which has become the standard for data exchange with
mathematical optimization solvers, has serious deficiencies when it comes
to supporting modern decision applications based on optimization. This
paper proposes a new standard called MOSDEX to overcome them. MOSDEX is
based on several principles: independence from and support for multiple
optimization solvers and their APIs and for multiple algebraic modeling
languages, model-data separation, relational data modeling, and
incorporation of standard optimization modeling objects. MOSDEX uses the
widely adopted JSON data format standard to take advantage of JSON support
in a variety of programming languages including Java, C++, Python, and
Julia. The paper demonstrates the principles of MOSDEX through examples
taken from well-known optimization problems.
