[Coin-discuss] Branch-and-Price framework under Windows

[E. van der Veen]

Hi,

Does someone know a good Branch-and-Price (B&P) framework 
that can be used under Windows/MS Visual C++? As I get it 
COIN provides four frameworks for Branch, Cut and Price: 
ABACUS, BCP, CHiPPs and SYMPHONY. However, with all four 
of them I have some difficulties:

-ABACUS: does not seem to compile under windows.
-BCP: there are no MSVC++ project files available for BCP.
-SYMPHONY: seems to support only Branch-and-Cut.
-CHiPPs: seems to be a foundation for B&P, however there 
are no B&P examples nor documentation.

Although I spent quite some time with searching for 
information about the mentiond Branch, Cut and Price 
frameworks, it could of course be that I missed something, 
so please correct me if my information is incorrect.
So, please let me know, if you have an answer to my 
question.

Thanks in advance.
