IOSO is multi-disciplinary design optimization software developed by Sigma Technology that runs on Microsoft Windows and Unix/Linux operating systems. It is used to improve the performance of complex systems and technological processes and to develop new materials based on what-if scenarios for arriving at optimal parameters.

About Sigma Technology
For more than 25 years Sigma Technology has developed and implemented highly efficient methods of improving complex technical systems. The company started by assuming that the existence of mathematical models (no matter how complete and accurate they are) and engineering applications (no matter how powerful they are) is not enough for the successful design and modification of modern engineering systems. To create competitive alternatives, it is required to integrate either mathematical models, actual prototypes or engineering applications with the engineering exploration methods inside a unified "optimization environment.” Sigma Technology calls this environment “optimization technology” and has developed the unique technology of nonlinear multidimensional optimization—IOSO technology (Indirect Optimization on the basis of Self-Organization).
