The 34th IPP Symposium
Computational Progress in Optimization
Irv Lustig, ILOG Direct
The past 15 years have seen an explosive growth in the number of applications of linear and integer programming. The evolution of powerful algorithms for solving these problems - together with ever more powerful computers - has brought the application of optimization to the desktop. Lustig will describe the computational state of the art in optimization and the key advances that have led to a tremendous increase in solving power. The result of this increased power is that many problems once considered unsolvable are now solvable, often in a matter of minutes.
