The Xpress Application Developer (XAD) extends Xpress-Mosel, turning it into a modeling and programming language for complete optimization application development, from the mathematical representation of the problem to developing the user interface.

What is XAD?

XAD is an API for graphical user interface development using Mosel. It was developed by FICO as an extension to the Mosel modeling and programming language.

How does it work?

XAD builds user interfaces using a concise but expressive set of Mosel routines, such as XADcreatebutton, etc. User interface events such as mouse movements, button presses, etc. are easily brought into the Mosel language through event callbacks. Mixing modeling, optimization and user interface functions is extremely easy in the Mosel language.

The IVE editor provides a complete drag and drop editor for creating XAD GUI resource files.

Advantages of using XAD

• No need to switch languages/environments when developing an optimization application
• Intuitive API for user interfaces
• Powerful set of features
• Tight integration with Mosel
• Superfast application development

Applications

Xpress-Application Developer can be used for prototype development as well as for producing deployable applications in areas such as supply chain optimization, finance, vehicle routing, resource allocation, strategic planning, etc.
