Coin-standards -- discussions on standards for exchanging math programs
About Coin-standards	English (USA)
The MPS format for mathematical programming has been extremely useful, but is showing its age. New technologies such as 64 bit hardware, stochastic solvers, and XML require new capabilities in the open standard format. This mailing list is a public forum for discussions on new standards, and a vehicle for their creation. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Coin-standards Archives.
