I'll be bringing the case for model-based optimization to a an audience of business rules experts and developers next week.

I gave a half-hour talk on model-based optimization at DecisionCAMP 2019, but I have posted the slides for the full hour-long version.

The Chicago Chapter of INFORMS is hosting a conference on November 12, 2019. The topic is "Operationalizing AI: Exploring Everything from Talent to Innovative #AI Implementation". Still time to register! bit.ly/32nS53O #analytics

1st of two videos just released: "Model-Based Optimization with AMPL" youtu.be/wvGvZ0xIWRE featuring: model-based vs. method-based approaches, modeling language vs. programming language approaches, declarative vs. executable approaches

2nd of two videos just released: New in AMPL for 2020 youtu.be/a4pUzPupCjE featuring: Direct spreadsheet interface, Solver callbacks, Jupyter notebooks, Beyond the desktop with alternative computing environments & alternatives for access to AMPL

New Direct Spreadsheet Interface to #AMPL #optimization models. Works with .xlsx files on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Improved support for multidimensional tables and for sheet names ampl.com/resources/new-…

AMPL Optimization Inc. has posted an announcement of a new software development position. AMPL Optimization #optimization

September 2020 will mark the 35th anniversary of the first work on the AMPL project at Bell Labs, by David Gay, Brian Kernighan, and me. Hear Brian's recollections of that time in this interview by Lex Fridman

LINDO Global 12.0 for AMPL now available from us, with extensive global optimization support including integer variables, trig functions, min/max/abs, floor/ceil/round/trunc. Learn more: ampl.com/products/solve… Get a demo/trial: ampl.com/try-ampl/downl…

I'll be presenting the first in the new INFORMS series of sponsored webinars, on model-based optimization. Three new case studies included!

Understand the optimization modeling lifecycle. Learn the benefits of model-based optimization. See case studies of successful applications in diverse businesses. Attend our INFORMS webinar this Thursday, Aug 27, 11:00 EDT (UTC-4) -- registration is free: info.informs.org/sponsored-webi…

AMPL is hiring for a new position on the business side of the company #ORMS #Analytics #Optimization

I'm co-organizing the Optimization Software stream at EURO 2021 this summer. Deadline for submissions is this weekend! Thanks to this year's hybrid format, you can submit without making any travel commitments
