9410318 Nemhauser To use MINTO in its current form, a user would need to customize it through application routines. Such user is expected to be an expert in mixed integer programming. The task in the deployment activity is to develop a methodology that would allow the customization of the package by a user without expecting such a user to be vastly knowledgeable on mixed integer programming. In addition to the development of the user interface module to MINTO, the deployment activity includes the intensive use of MINTO in two graduate level courses and holding of workshops for industrial practitioners and academics. Student groups will be defined and problems of different types and structures will be identified for solution through MINTO. The objective of this project is to develop a deployment route for teaching MINTO to students and transferring it to industry. MINTO is a general purpose, mixed integer optimization program that the principal investigator developed as a result of a prior NSF sponsored research project.

要以当前形式使用MINTO，用户需要通过应用程序例程对其进行定制。这样的用户应该是混合整数规划方面的专家。部署活动中的任务是开发一种方法，该方法允许用户定制包，而无需期望这样的用户对混合整数编程非常了解。除了开发MINTO的用户界面模块外，部署活动还包括在两门研究生课程中大量使用MINTO，并为工业从业者和学者举办讲习班。将定义学生群体，并通过MINTO确定不同类型和结构的问题以供解决。该项目的目标是开发一种向学生教授MINTO并将其转移到工业的部署路线。MINTO是一个通用的，混合整数优化程序，主要研究者开发的结果之前的NSF资助的研究项目。
