Speaker: Dr. Alessio Trivella, Assistant Professor of Operations Research, University of Twente In recent years, the Circular Economy has gained increasing attention from both academia and practice as a sustainable approach to resource management. However, the application of Operations Research (OR) methodologies to circular economy challenges has been relatively limited. This seminar presents insights from the Horizon Europe […]

Speaker: Willem-Jan van Hoeve, Carnegie Mellon University. Over the last decade, decision diagram-based optimization has emerged as a novel and innovative approach to solving discrete optimization problems. This presentation provides an overview of this methodology, focusing on three computational paradigms: (1) stand-alone decision diagram-based solvers, (2) integration into constraint programming, and (3) integration into linear […]

Speaker: Franco Peschiera, PhD, Baobab soluciones In the last decade, the cloud has motivated many business in OR to offer their optimization services through REST APIs. From modellers to solver suppliers, each platform provides access to the owner’s product. Most of the times this access is tied to the use of the product. In combinatorial optimization there […]
