Abstract
This chapter deals with an introduction to the General Algebraic Modeling System – GAMS. It is a high-level algebraic modeling technology elaborated by the GAMS Development Corporation. It permits developing and solving the linear or nonlinear optimization models. In GAMS the optimization models can be introduced in a way similar to the one which presents them in research papers or books. GAMS has the ability to solve large-scale linear programming problems and integer linear programming problems, as well as to find local or global optima of nonlinear and mixed-integer programs of very different complexity.
