The International Symposium on Mathematical Programming of the Mathematical Programming Society occurs every three years, and I generally like to attend them. They are like INFORMS conferences in size, but have many more talks (and people!) that I want to see. This year’s ISMP is being held next week in Chicago. Unfortunately, I won’t be there: I will be in Cork Ireland attending an advisory board meeting of the Cork Constraint Computation Center.
If anyone is blogging from ISMP, please let me know so I can be sure to point to your entries.
Note added August 26. Check out the comments for pointers to Nathan Brixius and Tallys Yunes who are blogging the conference.
Hi Mike, I posted my “day 1” impressions at http://blogs.msdn.com/natbr/archive/2009/08/26/int-l-symposium-on-mathematical-programming-day-1.aspx.
And here are my day 2 notes (mostly IPM related):
