GAMS Workshop, IFORS 2008, Sandton, South Africa, July 13, 2008

We are happy to invite you to our pre-conference GAMS workshop at the International Federation of Operational Research Societies Conference 2008 in Sandton, South Africa.

This workshop will show you how to use the GAMS modeling and rapid prototyping tools in an efficient and productive way. There will be an introduction to the system and a presentation of the key concepts in GAMS. The largest part of the workshop consists of hands-on exercises building GAMS models and applications. Guided by our experts, Jan-H. Jagla and Lutz Westermann, sample optimization based decision support applications will be built from scratch. We will show how easily GAMS interacts with other applications and programming languages. Moreover, examples showing how to build sophisticated algorithms will be given. You will also get an introduction to analyzing and debugging large problems using the various tools available within the GAMS system. A personal copy of GAMS will be available for all workshop participants.

Please bring along your laptop for the hands-on exercises.
