Matheon MF 1 Workshop

Optimization Software

June 1, 2005

Zuse Institute Berlin
Takustrasse 7
Berlin - Dahlem
D-14195
Germany

Lecture hall on the ground floor

The aim of this workshop is to share the experiences of Matheon members with software to solve optimization problems, and to give an overview of packages currently in use and under development.

Usually any complex software like optimization packages have a relative high entrance barrier which can be lowered by hints from experienced users.

In the talks of about 15 minutes length the software purpose and interface should be be explained and its use illustrated with short examples.

Local Organizers: Andreas Griewank, Jan Riehme
