[DMANET] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 16th annual "COIN-OR Cup"

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 16th annual "COIN-OR Cup" competition sponsored
by the COIN-OR Foundation.

The COIN-OR Cup recognizes and celebrates the best contributions to
open source operations research software development and use
associated with the COIN-OR software collection. To remind you,
COIN-OR stands for "COmputational INfrastructure for OPerations
Research". It is the definitive collection of free open source
operations research software that lets you concentrate on your
research instead of re-implementing software. See
https://www.coin-or.org. Get on board!

1. A synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution
