Abstract

In this work, a conceptual software model of optimisation problems is developed. Problem-specific aspects are clearly identified as such. To achieve the desired separation between problems and solvers, the details of the problem are encapsulated, and \emph{mechanisms} capable of supporting the optimisation process are provided in a problem-independent way, allowing optimisers to be formulated at a more abstract level. The proposed model has been prototyped in Python.
