[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!

GUIDELINES FOR COIN-OR CUP SUBMISSIONS:

A submission or nomination must contain:
1. A synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution
to COIN-OR (or both!), including an explanation of its significance.
Maximum 3 pages (pdf format).
2. Copies of relevant papers or documents (pdf format).
We especially encourage nominations describing effective use of
COIN-OR that the community may not know about.
Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged.

Submission deadline: Friday, October 23, 2020.

Please e-mail your submissions to coin-cup@coin-or.org in a single
zipped archive, containing a description of your submission and copies

The winner should accept the prize virtually after the 2020 INFORMS
Annual Meeting so we can all celebrate appropriately (see below).

November 16 after the INFORMS Annual meeting, which will be held
virtually this year.
All entrants, supporters, and other interested parties are welcome to
