Coin-contest -- COIN-OR Open-Source Coding Contest (archive only).
About Coin-contest	English (USA)
At the 2000 International Symposium for Mathematical Programming (ISMP), IBM Research launched the COIN-OR Initiative as an experiment to promote open source software for the operations research community. While the long term goal of COIN-OR was (and remains) to change the world by building a resource for OR software that is analogous to what the open literature is for theory, the short term goal was to realize the community participation needed to grow and become self-sustaining. In November 2002, a significant milestone was reached when the INFORMS board unanimously voted to host the COIN-OR repository. To celebrate, we're throwing a contest! All contestants and COIN-OR community members are encouraged to ask questions, post-results, and otherwise discuss the contest. Note: The contest is over. This list is no longer active but the archive is available. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Coin-contest Archives.
