[DMANET] SCIP Workshop 2018: Call for Participation and Presentations

Dear SCIP users,

We are happy to announce that following the workshop in Berlin 2014,
there will be a similar SCIP workshop next year from

  March 6 to March 8, 2018.

The workshop aims at providing a forum for current and prospective SCIP
users to discuss their applications and share their experiences with
SCIP. It is free of charge and will take place at
RWTH Aachen University in room HKW 1, Wüllnerstr. 1, Aachen.

The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to a hands-on
introduction into the SCIP Optimization Suite, followed by two days of
scientific talks, including a plenary talk by

  Ruth Misener from Imperial College London,
  see https://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/rmisener/,

on March 8 and talks by developers of the SCIP Optimization Suite about
their research.

However, the focus of these two days is on your applications and
experiences with SCIP. Therefore, we invite you to participate and to
give an approximately 30-minute talk on your research. The idea is that
you present the mathematical background of what you do with SCIP and
give some details on how you use SCIP. There will also be time to
discuss problems or issues that you are having with SCIP.

While we recommend for participants to attend the complete workshop, it
is possible to attend only the introduction day or the final two days of
scientific talks.

For more details about the SCIP workshop see

where we will also post more information as soon as available.

If you want to attend the workshop, please write to

scipworkshop2018@or.rwth-aachen.de

by February 1, 2018 and answer the following questions:
1) do you join the SCIP introduction?
2) will you attend the two days of scientific talks?
3) do you plan to give a talk?

We hope to see you in Aachen!

The SCIP team
