MAGIC: The Design and Use of an Interactive Modelling Language for Mathematical Programming
R.E. DAY, H. Paul Williams · IMA Journal of Management Mathematics · 1986
The desirability of computer aids for the building as well as the solving of Mathematical Programming models is argued. A short survey is given of some of the distinct approaches possible in designing matrix generators/languages for such a role. It is then suggested that the approach most suited to general models is to design a language close to widely used mathematical notation. The facilities needed in such a language are discussed and the implementation using the MAGIC (MAtrix Generator Instruction Convertor) language described.
