Workshop: Optimization Modeling with MPL |
||
Integrating Optimization in Real-World Business ApplicationsMaximal Software will be hosting a half-day workshop, Optimization Modeling with MPL: Integrating Optimization in Real-World Business Applications , the day before the EURO XXI Iceland conference, Sunday July 2nd, 2006. The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with an insightful overview and give step-by-step instructions for successfully building optimization applications. The speaker for the workshop, Bjarni Kristjansson has decades of experience in the field. He will take you through all the steps of an optimization project using optimization software tools from Maximal Software, ILOG, COIN, ARKI Consulting, and Pinter Consulting. Optimization technologies have become key tools in making important business decisions that increase competitive advantage. Optimization, through the use of advanced mathematics and computer science techniques, is used to assist organizations with solving their complex business problems in areas such as manufacturing, distribution, finance, and scheduling. The success of optimization projects depends on many different factors such as which modeling tools are used, integration with corporate data, and the selection of the most efficient solution algorithms available for the problem.
