• Optimize the problem: Once the problem is modeled, the solving procedure
generates a “good” solution for the problem. The solution may be optimal or
suboptimal. Let us notice that we are finding a solution for an abstract model
of the problem and not for the originally formulated real-life problem. Therefore,
the obtained solution performances are indicative when the model is an
accurate one. The algorithm designer can reuse state-of-the-art algorithms on
similar problems or integrate the knowledge of this specific application into the
algorithm.
