Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to make easily accessible models to test and compare the optimization algorithms we develop. Design/methodology/approach – For this, the paper proposes an optimization framework based on software component, web service, and plugin to exploit these models in different environments. Findings – The paper illustrates the discussion with optimizations in Matlab™ and R (www.r-project.org) of a transformer described and exploitable from the internet. Originality/value – The originality is to make easy implementation of simulation model and optimization algorithm coupling using software component, web service, and plugin.
