SIMPL Demo Distribution for GNU/Linux
Welcome and thank you for your interest in SIMPL! To learn more about the current status of SIMPL, you can download the latest version of our working paper (forthcoming in Operations Research):
An Integrated Solver for Optimization Problems (updated on 6/10/09)
Tallys Yunes, Ionut Aron, and John Hooker
Working Paper WPS-MAS-08-01, School of Business Administration, University of Miami, 2009.
To allow interested readers to replicate our computational results, we now provide a demo version of SIMPL (released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)). Before proceeding, please read the file README.TXT. It contains important information and installation instructions. Then, download the file simpl-demo-0.08.22.tgz (2.86 MB). The package includes all problem instances used in our experiments.
Note: The above package includes binaries only. I'm currently working on creating some documentation for SIMPL before the source code can be released. If you're interested in SIMPL's source code and would like to be notified once it becomes available, please send me an e-mail.
Enjoy!
Want to Get Involved?
SIMPL is under development and I believe it has a lot of potential for a bright future. I have many interesting ideas but only two hands and 24 hours per day. Therefore, I'm looking for motivated individuals to join our research group. Relevant areas include: operations research, integer programming, constraint programming, graphical user interface design, and compiler development.
Note: Are you a student looking for an interesting research topic? Send me an e-mail! (all levels welcome: undergraduate, master's, or doctoral). Computer programming experience and basic knowledge of Operations Research are a must. Those of you who have taken my MAS 441 class (or another introductory OR course) are particularly welcome.
Feedback
I welcome your comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism. Feel free to send me an e-mail.
