Highlights of the Year

François Vanderbeck was chair of the organizing committee of ISMP'2018. ISMP is the triennial international congress of mathematical optimization, where scientists from all over the world as well as industrial practitioners of mathematical optimization meet in order to present their most recent developments and results and to discuss new challenges from theory and practice. It is the symposium of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS). More than 1900 scientists attended the conference this year in Bordeaux.

Olivier Beaumont was the program chair of the IEEE-ACM HiPC conference held in Bangalore in December 2018.

The team decided to develop an open-source platform, called coluna, to allow the scientific committee to use our state-of-the-art algorithms for extended formulations.
