Summary: -------- RMOL is a C++ library of Revenue Management and Optimisation classes and functions. Typically, that library may be used by service providers (e.g., airlines offering flight seats, hotels offering rooms, rental car companies offering rental days, broadcasting company offering advertisement slots, theaters offering seats, etc.) to help in optimising their revenues from seat capacities. Most of the algorithms implemented are public and documented in the following book: The Theory and practice of Revenue Management, by Kalyan T. Talluri and Garrett J. van Ryzin, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004, ISBN 1-4020-7701-7 RMOL makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost (C++ Standard Extensions: http://www.boost.org) library is used. Getting and installing from the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat distribution: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Just use Yum: yum -y install rmol-devel rmol-doc You can also get the RPM packages (which may work on Linux distributions like Novel Suse and Mandriva) from the Fedora repository (e.g., for Fedora 16, http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/16/Everything/) Building the library and test binary from Subversion repository: ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Sourceforge Git repository may be cloned as following: git clone ssh://rmol.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/rmol/rmol rmolgit cd rmolgit git checkout trunk Then, you need the following packages (Fedora Core 6 names here, but names may vary according to distributions): * cmake * gcc-c++ * stdair-devel, airrac-devel * boost-devel * gsl-devel (optional) * zeromq-devel * readline-devel * soci-mysql-devel * python-devel * gettext-devel (optional) * doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz and tetex-latex (optional) * rpm-build (optional) Building the library and test binary from the tarball: ------------------------------------------------------ The latest stable source tarball (rmol*.tar.gz or .bz2) can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177703 Then, as usual: * To configure the project, type something like: mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/dev/deliveries/rmol-0.25.2 \ -DWITH_STDAIR_PREFIX=/home/user/dev/deliveries/stdair-stable \ -DWITH_AIRRAC_PREFIX=/home/user/dev/deliveries/airrac-stable \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DINSTALL_DOC:BOOL=ON .. * To build the project, type: make * To test the project, type: make check * To install the library (librmol*.so*) and the binary (rmol), make install * To package the source files, type: make dist * To package the binary and the (HTML and PDF) documentation: make package Denis Arnaud (October 2011)
