Hi there, This is still work in progress, but it is to a point where it is probably usable for someone.
I'm developing a mini-framework within the Optimization Solver code that allows you to develop a new optimizer algorithm without building the entire OO.o source code. You don't even need to build the entire scsolver module where the Solver source code lives. I've started writing documentation here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Optimization_Solver#Optimizer_Development_mini-Framework This effort has started as a need for one individual - who wishes to contribute his non-linear optimization code - to integrate his code into the Solver module. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time and desire to read and understand the entire Solver code due to his busy schedule, so I've decided to develop this mini-framework primarily motivated by his need. I've invited him to join this mailing list, but let's see if he is interested. :-) The current limitations are: * It is limited to for non-linear optimizer only, but extending it to cover linear optimizer will be considered if there is a need. * It does not currently handle general constraint model, where each constraint consists of f(x) >= [constant] form. But support for this type of constraint will be included in the future.
