We gave an overview of the Julia programming language for researchers in optimization theory and practice. The talk was divided in four parts:

  • Introduction to the Julia language, key features and central mechanisms. Example use cases with linear algebra.
  • The JuliaSmoothOptimizers ecosystem, organization & usage
  • JuliaGraphs & the LightGraphs package, features and structure
  • A quick tour of JuliaOpt & JuMP for structured, constrained optimization
