An Introduction to Modelling with GAMSPy

This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to GAMSPy. GAMSPy combines the high-performance GAMS execution system with the flexible Python language, creating a powerful mathematical optimization package. It acts as a bridge between the expressive Python language and the robust GAMS system, allowing you to create complex mathematical models effortlessly.

Join us to explore GAMSPy’s fundamental functionalities through practical, interactive exercises. We’ll cover everything from defining sets, parameters, variables, and equations to solving models and retrieving results, all within a familiar Python environment. Beyond the basics, we’ll also provide a glimpse into more advanced features, demonstrating how GAMSPy can streamline complex modeling workflows and enhance your analytical capabilities.

In addition, we will discuss how GAMSPy can support benchmarking projects for integer programming (IP) solving, help evaluate the impact of different modeling choices, and illustrate how it can complement or extend direct solver-based approaches such as CPLEX or Gurobi within C++ environments.

Whether you’re a seasoned GAMS user looking to integrate with Python or a Python user curious about optimization, this workshop will equip you with the essential skills to get started with GAMSPy.
