To: coin-announce at list.coin-or.org
From: Bob Fourer (4er at iems.northwestern.edu)
 
I am organizing a cluster of sessions on Optimization Software and Modeling
Systems at this summer's triennial Symposium of the Mathematical Programming
Society (www.mathprog.org).  As part of this cluster I would like to put
together one or more sessions on open-source software in mathematical
programming.  COIN-OR was launched at ISMP 2000, so this would be a natural
place to report on progress in various areas as well as on specific projects.

Presentations will be three per session, half an hour each in length.  You may
be entered as the speaker for only one presentation, though you may be listed
as a co-author on any number of presentations by other speakers.

TO CONTRIBUTE AN INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION, send me your name and email address
and the title of your talk.  You will then hear back from me or from an
appropriate session chair, and you will be sent a code that lets you submit the
rest of your information through the conference's website.

TO CONTRIBUTE AN ENTIRE SESSION, send me the session title along with your name
and email address.  I will then send you three codes to be passed along to the
speakers in your session.

If you have questions, contact me at 4er at iems.northwestern.edu or +1
847-491-3151.
