Core Concepts

This document explains the key concepts and terminology used in the globalMOO API.

Models

A Model represents your optimization problem. It contains:

• Input parameters

• Objectives

• Constraints

• Configuration settings

Projects

Projects help you organize related Models and Trials. They provide:

• Grouping of related optimization tasks

• Shared settings and configurations

• Access control and collaboration features

Trials

A Trial represents a single optimization run. It includes:

• Input parameter values

• Objective values

• Status information

• Results and metrics

Objectives

Objectives define what you're trying to optimize. They can be:

• Minimization objectives

• Maximization objectives

• Multi-objective combinations

Parameter Types

globalMOO supports various parameter types:

• Numerical (continuous)

• Integer

• Categorical

• Boolean

• Conditional

Optimization Process

1. Create a Model

2. Define Parameters

3. Set Objectives

4. Configure Project

5. Run Trials

6. Analyze Results
