LINDO Systems, Inc. 29
Operations Research professionals across
nearly every industry for over 30 years. LINDO
offers a full range of solvers to cover all your
optimization needs. The Linear Programming
solvers handle million variable/constraint
problems fast and reliably. The Quadratic/SOCP/Barrier solver
efficiently handles quadratically constrained problems. The
Integer solver works fast and reliably with LP, QP and NLP models.
The Global NLP solver finds the guaranteed global optimum of
non-convex models. The Stochastic Programming solver has a full
range of capabilities for planning under uncertainty.
Get all the tools you need to get up and running quickly.
LINDO provides a set of versatile intuitive interfaces to suit your
modeling preference. What’s best is an add-in to Excel that you
can use to quickly build spreadsheet models that managers
can use and understand. LINDO has a full featured modeling
language for expressing complex models clearly and concisely,
and it has links to Excel and databases that make data handling
easy. LINDO API is a callable library that allows you to seamlessly
embed the solvers into your own applications. You can pick the
best tool for the job based upon who will build the application,
who will use it, and where the data reside. Technical support at
LINDO is responsive and thorough - whether you have questions
about the software or need some guidance on handling a
particular application.
Monday, November 14, 2:15–3pm
Technology Tutorial: Optimization Modeling Made Easy.

Technology Tutorial: Data Analytics with MATLAB. Mary
Fenelon, Product Manager, MathWorks, mary.fenelon@
Using data analytics to turn large volumes
of complex data into actionable information can help you
improve engineering design and decision-making processes.
However, developing effective analytics and integrating them
into business systems can be challenging. In this session you
will learn approaches and techniques available in MATLAB to
tackle these challenges through an example showing steps of
data access, exploration, predictive and prescriptive model
development, and deployment.
