运筹学通用优化接口（COIN-OR，http：//www.coin-or.org/）是一项旨在为运筹学（OR）社区推广开源软件的倡议。在OR实践和研究中，软件是基础。OR对软件的依赖意味着软件开发、管理和分发的方式可能对该领域产生重大影响。开源是一种相对较新的软件开发和分发模式，它比当前的做法具有优势。它的可行性取决于开源的精确定义，分布式开发社区的文化，以及使分布式开发成为可能的版本控制系统。在本文中，我们回顾了开源的哲学和文化，并介绍了COIN-OR的目标和现状。
The Common Optimization INterface for Operations Research (COIN-OR, http://www.coin-or.org/) is an initiative to promote open-source software for the operations research (OR) community. In OR practice and research, software is fundamental. The dependence of OR on software implies that the ways in which software is developed, managed, and distributed can have a significant impact on the field. Open source is a relatively new software development and distribution model which offers advantages over current practices. Its viability depends on the precise definition of open source, on the culture of a distributed developer community, and on a version-control system which makes distributed development possible. In this paper, we review open-source philosophy and culture, and present the goals and status of COIN-OR.
