[AMPL 2849] Optimisation Workshop Series 09 - CARISMA, Brunel University

[MickyStone]

Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce the following workshops:

Optimisation Series: Business Applications of Optimisation, Stochastic Programming and Portfolio Planning

Introduction to Optimisation and its Applications: Linear & Integer Programming: Embedded DSS using Scripting and COM Objects
2 - 3 November 2009

Decision Making under Uncertainty: Stochastic Programming
4 - 5 November 2009

Financial Planning using Integer Quadratic Programming
6 November 2009


Optimisation technologies have become key tools in making important business decisions that increase competitive advantage. Optimisation, through the use of advanced mathematics and computer science techniques, is used to assist organisations with solving their complex business problems in areas such as manufacturing, distribution, finance and scheduling. The success of optimisation projects depends on many different factors such as which modelling tools are used, integration with corporate data and the selection of the most efficient solution algorithms available for the problem. The purpose of this optimisation workshop is to provide participants with an insightful overview and give step-by-step instructions for successfully building optimisation applications.

In this workshop, our instructors, who all have years of experience in this field, will take you through all the steps of an optimisation project using powerful optimisation tools such as AMPL/AMPL Studio Modelling System, CPLEX and FortMP/FortSP. The purpose of the workshop is to show how optimisation models, relational data and optimisation algorithms can be brought together in one cohesive business application.

This workshop is an advanced course designed to benefit individuals with various levels of optimisation knowledge. Some previous exposure to optimisation is helpful.

Speakers: Gautam Mitra, John Beasley, Cormac Lucas, Diana Roman, Christian Valente, Leela Mitra, Viktar Zverovich, Katharina Schwaiger, Xiaochen(Michael) Sun.

Guest Presentation:
Csaba Fabian - Eötvös Loránd University
Achim Koberstein - University of Paderborn
