Optimization Services analysis Language (OSaL)

OSaL (analysis) is a format for optimization analysis, mainly returned from optimization analyzers or embedded in the OSrL optimization result returned from optimization solvers.

When solving an optimization problem, a solver may gather additional analysis on the problem. Thus an <osal> element can be embedded in the the <optimization> of Optimization Services result Language (OSrL). On the other hand, when solved by an analyzer, if an optimization problem is easy enough, it can potentially be solved by an analyzer without sending to a solver. The analyzer should also return an OSrL instance with an embedded <osal> element.
