IBM ILOG Pre-conference Workshop:Build State-of-the-Art Decision Support Applications
Gustav-Stresemann-Institut, 1st Level, Room S17
Sunday, July 5 - 13:30 - 18:00
This workshop is free and open to academics and practitioners interested in learning about the latest advances in optimization technologies. Seating is limited, so we encourage you to register now at http://www.ilog.com/workshops/euro09/.
Participants will discover the latest features of the ILOG Optimization Suite, the complete system for building custom optimization-based planning and scheduling applications that solve complex business problems, ranging from near real-time scheduling to long-term strategic planning.
IBM ILOG Optimization includes both the IBM ILOG CPLEX engine and the IBM ILOG CP Optimizer (constraint programming engine), the integrated development environment IBM ILOG OPL Studio for mathematical models and the application framework IBM ILOG ODM. It represents a significant advancement in optimization tools allowing end users to try what-if scenarios, explore solution tradeoffs, use soft constraints and automatic relaxations, set multiple goals with tradeoffs and other industry unique capabilities for planning and scheduling applications. With this system, users across industries can harness the power of optimization technology to develop state-of-the-art decision support applications.
This workshop is an opportunity to share experiences and discuss optimization technologies with other OR practitioners, researchers and instructors. Refreshments will be provided, compliments of ILOG. For more information please go to: http://www.ilog.com/workshops/euro09/.
GAMS Conference WorkshopBonn, July 5, 13:30 - 17:00, Room S30 (Gustav-Stresemann-Institut)
We are happy to invite you to our GAMS workshop at the EURO 2009 in Bonn. The half-day workshop on Sunday is designed to demonstrate the GAMS modeling system together with its productivity tools. There will be a general introduction to the system and a presentation of GAMS' key concepts and recent enhancements. The major part of the workshop consists of hands-on exercises building GAMS models and applications. Guided by our experts you will build sample optimization models from scratch. We will show how easy and flexible GAMS interacts with other applications including MS Office using GDX facilities and tools.
Please bring along your laptop for the hands-on exercises. In order to get started right away, please download the current GAMS Distribution from the GAMS Download Page www.gams.com/download/
AIMMS User Meeting- Sunday 5 July, 15:30 - 17:00, Room: S5 (Gustav-Stresemann-Institut)
- All current and prospective users of the AIMMS mathematical modeling system are invited to participate in this meeting. Come along to hear about the newest AIMMS features and development plans, to provide your feedback, and to meet other AIMMS Users. Further details: http://www.aimms.com/community/user-meeting/
Optimization Modeling with MPL/MOPSBonn, July 5, 2009, 12:30 - 15:00, ROOM S29 (Gustav-Stresemann-Institut)
The workshop focuses on how to build optimization models that can be used to solve real- world business problems. By the end of the seminar, the participants will know how to develop their own optimization models in MPL, link them to data sources and solve the models using state-of-the-art optimization solvers. Participants will also acquire a good working knowledge on how to embed optimization models into applications.
By attending this seminar you will learn how to:
- Identify the best use of optimization techniques & how to deploy them
- Prepare and import data from different sources for optimization
- Identify which solvers works best for your optimization problem
- Gain a realistic view on the use of optimization for business
- Build your own embedded optimization applications
Workshop Schedule
- Introduction to Optimization Modeling and Solving
- Formulating Optimization Models in MPL
- Introducing MOPS Solver and MOPS Studio
- Introducing Open-Source CoinMP Solver
- Connecting to Databases and Spreadsheets
- Embedding Optimization in Applications
- Achieving Optimal Solution Performance
- Recent News and Trends in Optimization

GTS Workshop "An Introduction to Vehicle Routing and Network Planning with the decision Support System TransIT"Bonn, July 7, 08:00 - 9:20, Room S1 (Gustav-Stresemann-Institut)
GTS Systems and Consulting GmbH invites all participants of the EURO Conference Bonn 2009 to the TransIT workshop. The workshop will introduce vehicle routing and network planning with the decision support system TransIT to academic users. In particular, we will demonstrate how the system can be used for teaching and research.
The workshop is open to all participants of the conference. It will present both the basic functionalities of the system and introduce the accompanying tutorial and interface material. It is not required to register for the workshop. However, for planning purposes, we would appreciate it if you could send an e-mail to info@gts-systems.com
