DIMACS Workshop on COIN-OR

July 17 - 20, 2006
DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ

Organizers:

Jonathan Eckstein, Rutgers University, jeckstei@rutcor.rutgers.edu

Jeff Linderoth, Lehigh University, jtl3@lehigh.edu

This meeting is jointly sponsored by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), and IBM Research.

COIN-OR (www.coin-or.org) is an initiative to promote open-source software, standards, models, and data for operations research. More than a dozen projects are hosted by COIN-OR, including linear and integer programming solvers, frameworks for implementing branch, cut, and price algorithms, libraries of cutting planes for mixed integer programs, interior point solvers for nonlinear programs, tools for derivative-free optimization, and interfaces for modeling stochastic programs.

The goals of this workshop are to provide:

• Hands-on tutorials for new users,
• Forums for users, would-be users, and developers to exchange ideas and experiences,
• Case-studies of research and business uses, and
• Discussions on the future direction and shape of open-source in operations research.
