The COIN-OR Cup recognizes and celebrates the best contributions to open source operations research software development and use associated with the COIN-OR software collection. To remind you, COIN-OR stands for "COmputational INfrastructure for OPerations Research". It is the definitive collection of free open source operations research software that lets you concentrate on your research instead of re-implementing software. See https://www.coin-or.org. Get on board! GUIDELINES FOR COIN-OR CUP SUBMISSIONS: A submission or nomination must contain: 1. A synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution to COIN-OR (or both!), including an explanation of its significance. Maximum 3 pages (pdf format). 2. Copies of relevant papers or documents (pdf format). We especially encourage nominations describing effective use of COIN-OR that the community may not know about. Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged. Submission deadline: Friday, October 3, 2021. Please e-mail your submissions to coin-cup at coin-or.org in a single zipped archive, containing a description of your submission and copies of all relevant papers/documents in pdf format. The winner is normally announced and celebrated during the INFORMS annual meeting. Due to travel uncertainty, the winner may instead be announced online at the COIN-OR general meeting; details for the announcement and celebration will be revealed when available.
