After an introduction to general concepts of modelling tools (implementation, data handling, result interpretation, …), the program XPress-MP IVE with its modelling language Mosel will be presented in detail.

Subsequently, a broad range of exercises will be discussed. The main goals of the exercises from literature and practical applications are to learn the process of modeling optimization problems as linear or mixed-integer programs, to efficiently utilize the presented tools for solving these optimization problems and to implement heuristic solution procedures for mixed-integer programs.
