PRINTEMPS is a C++ metaheuristics modeler/solver library for general integer optimization problems. PRINTEMPS emphasizes the following aspects:

• Portability. It is implemented as a header-only library which does not depend on any other proprietary or open-source libraries. Users can integrate it into their own codes by just copying the necessary files.

• Intuitiveness in modeling. It provides an intuitive modeling environment to define an optimization model as a program code. Users can define constraint and objective functions using arithmetic operations on decision variables.

• Flexibility to define neighborhood. It automatically detects the neighborhood structure of the problem. In addition to this, PRINTEMPS also accepts user-defined neighborhoods.
