Overview
OptQuest is a simulation optimization engine, built on a truly unique set of powerful algorithms and sophisticated analysis techniques including metaheuristics optimization, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search and scatter search, to name a few. The OptQuest WebAPI provides access to the OptQuest engine via a web server hosted on AWS. The available endpoints make it possible to explore problem search spaces for any (simulation) optimization without a custom wrapper to serve as the interface between your simulation and the OptQuest Engine.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
The OptQuest WebAPI requires a subscription to an OptQuest WebAPI Amazon Machine Image (AMI). The WebAPI service will start automatically when the AMI is instantiated as an EC2 Instance. The web service's root page will be accessible on port 5000, for example: http://ec2-52-90-228-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com:5000/ Once the web server hosted on the AMI is running, access to the engine functionality is achieved through standalone HTTP requests with JSON request bodies as needed. These requests can be executed in custom scripts so that the service can be leveraged to solve optimization problems in an automated manner.
API Endpoints The OptQuest WebAPI provides an HTTP interface for the OptQuest Workflow.
- Create Optimization POST /createOptimization Creates a new optimization by define inputs, outputs, objectives, and constraints.
- Create New Solution POST /optimization/<optimization_id>/createSolution Creates a new solution with inputs to evaluate
- Return Evaluated Solution PUT /optimization/<optimization_id>/<solution_id>/submitSolution Returns a solution with outputs that have been evaluated
- Delete Optimization DELETE /optimization/<optimization_id> Clears the Optimization from memory
- Get All Solutions GET /optimization/<optimization_id>/suggestedSolutions Returns list of all solutions for the optimization
- Get Best Solution GET /optimization/<optimization_id>/getBestSolution Checks if the optimization is single or multi-objective. If single, returns the best solution. If multi, returns a list of all points on the frontier
