[Coin-rpx] problem exchange & INFORMS computing society

[Robin Lougee-Heimer]

The newsletter from the INFORMS Computing Society chair, John Chinneck, 
had a call for volunteers to take on "new projects." Here's one example 
John gave. 

b. Standard test sets.  This one results from interactions with industry
representatives who complain that academics publish using test models
(e.g. of refineries) that do not capture real-world effects and yet who
will not release the proprietary details to make the models realistic
enough. ICS could sponsor panels that maintain and update standard
industry test models, e.g. of a typical refinery or manufacturing
operation, complete with sufficient detail to be realistic, but devoid of
any proprietary features.

I sent John a note and told him about the "real problem exchange" so we 
can coordinate efforts.
