Dear Colleague
We are pleased to announce the above workshops, which are organised by CARISMA, Brunel University, OptiRisk Systems and UNICOM Seminars.
The workshop series is specially designed to provide insight into the discipline of optimisation for a wide range of individuals such as OR professionals, quantitative analysts, risk analysts, DSS application developers, consultants, and academic researchers.
The courses will take you through all the steps of an optimisation project using powerful optimisation tools such as AMPL Modelling System, CPLEX, FortMP, FortSP and SPInE. They are most comprehensive and cover the latest developments in the field, with plenty of hands-on examples, which help you develop stochastic programming applications for your sector, be it financial planning, portfolio selection, supply chain, or energy systems planning.
Guest Presentation: *Scenario Generation - Hidden Markov Model Enza Messina, University of Milan, Italy *Sloving Integer Stochastic Programming Suvrajeet Sen, University of Arizona, USA

We look forward to welcoming you to the workshops; please also make your colleagues aware of it. Thank you.
Best regards CARISMA
