About:
MiniZincIDE is a comprehensive, open-source development environment for constraint modeling. It provides an editor, compiler, and visualizer in one package, allowing users to model complex optimization problems efficiently. The tool translates high-level models into solver-specific input formats, enabling solutions for scheduling, resource allocation, and combinatorial problems.
Key Features:
  • Integrated development environment with syntax highlighting and auto-completion
  • Built-in visualization tools for analyzing model solutions and data
  • Supports multiple back-end solvers including Gecode, CBC, and Gurobi
  • Cross-platform compatibility with a unified user interface
Use Cases:
  • Solving scheduling and timetabling problems in operations research
  • Modeling and solving combinatorial optimization problems in logistics
Alternatives:
  • CP Optimizer – IBM's commercial solver with advanced scheduling features but requires a license
  • OR-Tools – Google's open-source toolkit with broader optimization algorithms but different modeling approach
