Hi Gaby, There are two options I see for this. The first, and probably simplest, is to wrap the ILP optimization library in a NetLogo extension. For instance, the matrix extension wraps the JAMA java library: https://github.com/NetLogo/Matrix-Extension (though it's a little on the old side). A simpler example, if you're comfortable with Scala, is the CSV extension, which wraps the Apache Commons CSV library: https://github.com/NetLogo/CSV-Extension. The basic workflow is that you would add a reporter primitive to your extension that takes as an argument the necessary data for ILP and then returns the output of the optimization.
The other option would the controlling API, which allows NetLogo to be used as a library in another Java program: https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/wiki/Controlling-API. This sounds like a perfect case for an extension, so I would recommend that approach over the controlling API approach. Hope that helps!
