A few of us on the Solver Foundation team will be presenting at the INFORMS Practice Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.  I'm looking forward to it!  We have both a workshop and a session - I will also be participating in Gurobi's session to show off its integration with Solver Foundation.  Here are the details - looking forward to seeing you there.

Technology Workshop
Sunday, April 26, 9AM - 12PM
Microsoft Solver Foundation is a pure, managed code runtime for mathematical programming, modeling, and optimization. Microsoft Solver Foundation provides solvers and services to a broad community of users: from Excel users and analysts to programmers working on business critical scheduling, configuration, risk management and planning solutions. It provides services for model validation, parallel solving and workload scheduling, model interchange, and declarative data binding via LINQ and other NETFx technologies. As an open framework designed for third party extensibility, it exposes facilities for users to plug-in their own solvers while still leveraging all of the modeling services and capabilities of Microsoft Solver Foundation.

Software Tutorials
