[COIN-fORgery] Invitation to MOSDEX code sprint, Clemson SC, March 17-20

[Matthew Saltzman]

Hello-

I am writing to you because you attended the COIN-fORgery workshop at
the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications in Minneapolis in
October, 2018. As you may recall, that workshop was a prelude to a
series of short "code sprint" workshops that took place at the IMA over
the following several months. 

The purpose of this email is to announce an additional code sprint (not
affiliated with IMA)--a follow-on to the February, 2019 sprint
supporting the MOSDEX instance interchange language project. The sprint
will be held at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences,
Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina following the end of the
INFORMS Optimization Society conference taking place in Greenville,
South Carolina on March 15-17. The sprint itself will take place from
Tuesday, March 17 after the conference closes until Friday, March 20,
on the Clemson University campus.

Note that there is no financial support available, but we do have a
university rate of $92+tax per night at the Clemson Comfort Inn.

MOSDEX is a JSON dialect to support exchange of instances of
mathematical optimization problems. It extends the capabilities of the
MPS format to capture problem structure.

If you are interested in helping to develop MOSDEX and are able to
attend the code sprint, RSVP to me, Matthew Saltzman <mjs at clemson.edu>
to let me know your interest. If you are interested in MOSDEX
development but can't attend, you can join our Slack channel #ima-
