2nd Call for nominations for the 2024 Beale — Orchard-Hays Prize

Nominations are hereby invited for the 2024 Beale — Orchard-Hays Prize for Excellence in Computational Mathematical Programming. The prize is sponsored by the Mathematical Optimization Society, in memory of Martin Beale and William Orchard-Hays, pioneers in computational optimization. It is awarded to the authors of work that exemplifies excellence in this field, with a formal presentation ceremony at the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming (ISMP), July 21-26 in Montreal, Canada.

Nominated works must have been appeared in the open literature between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2023, and may demonstrate excellence in any aspect of computational optimization, including the development of high-quality optimization algorithms and software, the experimental evaluation of optimization algorithms, and the development of new methods for the empirical testing of optimization techniques. Full details of prize criteria and eligibility may be consulted here<
