(IFORS) is an umbrella organization comprising the national Operations Research societies of over 45 countries from four geographical regions: Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America. Total membership is over 30,000 persons. IFORS’ mission is to promote Operations Research as an academic discipline and a profession.

tools at the world’s educational institutions. Adopted by more than 5,000 universities and colleges, MathWorks products accelerate the pace of learning, teaching, and research in engineering and science. MathWorks products also help prepare students for careers in industry worldwide, where the tools are widely used for data analysis, mathematical modeling, and algorithm development in collaborative research and new product development. Application areas include data analytics, mechatronics, communication systems, image processing, computational finance, and computational biology. Monday, November 14, 8–8:45am Technology Tutorial: Data Analytics with MATLAB. Mary Fenelon, Product Manager, MathWorks, mary.fenelon@ mathworks.com. Using data analytics to turn large volumes of complex data into actionable information can help you improve engineering design and decision-making processes. However, developing effective analytics and integrating them into business systems can be challenging. In this session you will learn approaches and techniques available in MATLAB to tackle these challenges through an example showing steps of data access, exploration, predictive and prescriptive model development, and deployment.

problems fast and reliably. The Quadratic/SOCP/Barrier solver efficiently handles quadratically constrained problems. The Integer solver works fast and reliably with LP, QP and NLP models. The Global NLP solver finds the guaranteed global optimum of non-convex models. The Stochastic Programming solver has a full range of capabilities for planning under uncertainty. Get all the tools you need to get up and running quickly. LINDO provides a set of versatile intuitive interfaces to suit your modeling preference. What’s best is an add-in to Excel that you can use to quickly build spreadsheet models that managers can use and understand. LINDO has a full featured modeling language for expressing complex models clearly and concisely, and it has links to Excel and databases that make data handling easy. LINDO API is a callable library that allows you to seamlessly embed the solvers into your own applications. You can pick the best tool for the job based upon who will build the application, who will use it, and where the data reside. Technical support at LINDO is responsive and thorough - whether you have questions about the software or need some guidance on handling a particular application. Monday, November 14, 2:15–3pm Technology Tutorial: Optimization Modeling Made Easy. Presenter: Mark Wiley, VP Marketing, mwiley@lindo.com. Come and learn how easy it is to: quickly build linear, nonlinear, quadratic, conic and integer optimization models; incorporate uncertainty into optimization models; easily access data from Excel and databases; seamlessly embed a solver into your own application. Come and see a demonstration of the power and flexibility of the new releases of: LINDO API – a callable solver engine, LINGO – an integrated modeling language and solvers, for Excel.
