[CincyPG] Tomorrow night 2/20: COIN-OR, an open source project involving optimization theory

[Troy Davis]

Tomorrow, Wednesday February 20th, 6:30 PM at Max Technical Training  
in Mason, the Cincinnati Programmers Guild's monthly meeting features  
a presentation by Kipp Martin, Vice President and CIO of Global  
Optima. He is Professor of Operations Research and Computing  
Technology at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.  
Kipp has been teaching Internet business to MBA students since 1994  
and has taught executives in Europe and the U.S. He has written Large  
Scale Linear and Integer Optimization: A Unified Approach (Kluwer,  
1999). He holds a BA, MBA, and Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati.

The topic of his presentation is COIN-OR -- The Computational  
Infrastructure for Operations Research project is an initiative to  
spur the development of open-source software for the operations  
research community.

COIN-OR Goal:
To build an open-source community for operations research software in  
order to speed development and deployment of models, algorithms, and  
cutting-edge computational research, as well as provide a forum for  
peer review of software similar to that provided by archival journals  
for theoretical research.
