CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 16th annual "COIN-OR Cup"

  • 1.  CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 16th annual "COIN-OR Cup"

    Posted 09-02-2020 12:17
    CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 16th annual "COIN-OR Cup" competition sponsored
    by the COIN-OR Foundation.

    The COIN-OR Cup recognizes and celebrates the best contributions to
    open source operations research software development and use
    associated with the COIN-OR software collection. To remind you,
    COIN-OR stands for "COmputational INfrastructure for OPerations
    Research". It is the definitive collection of free open source
    operations research software that lets you concentrate on your
    research instead of re-implementing software. See
    https://www.coin-or.org. Get on board!

    GUIDELINES FOR COIN-OR CUP SUBMISSIONS:

    A submission or nomination must contain:
    1. A synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution
    to COIN-OR (or both!), including an explanation of its significance.
    Maximum 3 pages (pdf format).
    2. Copies of relevant papers or documents (pdf format).
    We especially encourage nominations describing effective use of
    COIN-OR that the community may not know about.
    Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged.

    Submission deadline: Friday, October 23, 2020.

    Please e-mail your submissions to coin-cup@coin-or.org in a single
    zipped archive, containing a description of your submission and copies
    of all relevant papers/documents in pdf format.
    The winner should accept the prize virtually after the 2020 INFORMS
    Annual Meeting so we can all celebrate appropriately (see below).

    CELEBRATION:
    The 2020 COIN-OR Cup will be awarded at a celebration on Monday,
    November 16 after the INFORMS Annual meeting, which will be held
    virtually this year.
    All entrants, supporters, and other interested parties are welcome to
    join the celebration! Details of the event will be announced later.
