Advanced process monitor (APMonitor), is a modeling language for differential algebraic (DAE) equations. It is a free web-service for solving representations of physical systems in the form of implicit DAE models. APMonitor is suited for large-scale problems and allows solutions of linear programming, integer programming, nonlinear programming, nonlinear mixed integer programming, dynamic simulation,moving horizon estimation, and nonlinear model predictive control. APMonitor does not solve the problems directly, but calls nonlinear programming solvers such as APOPT, BPOPT, IPOPT, MINOS, and SNOPT. The APMonitor API provides exact first and second derivatives of continuous functions to the solvers through automatic differentiation and in sparse matrix form.
Julia, MATLAB, Python are mathematical programming languages that have APMonitor integration through web-service APIs. The interfaces are built-in optimization toolboxes or modules to both load and process solutions of optimization problems. APMonitor is an object-oriented modeling language and optimization suite that relies on programming languages to load, run, and retrieve solutions. APMonitor models and data are compiled at run-time and translated into objects that are solved by an optimization engine such as APOPT or IPOPT. The optimization engine is not specified by APMonitor, allowing several different optimization engines to be switched out. The simulation or optimization mode is also configurable to reconfigure the model for dynamic simulation, nonlinear model predictive control, moving horizon estimation or general problems in mathematical optimization.
