Dear Colleagues,

We want to welcome you the CMU-IBM Cyberinfrastructure Collaborative
site for MINLP, http://www.minlp.org, and invite you to contribute to
a unique library of MINLP optimization problems.

The major goal of this site is to create a library of optimization
problems in different application areas in which one or several
alternative models are presented with their derivation. In addition, each
model has one or several instances that can serve to test various
algorithms. While we are emphasizing MINLP models, you may also wish to
submit MILP and NLP models that are relevant to problems that can be
formulated as MINLP problems. The site is intended to provide a mechanism
for researchers and users to contribute towards the creation of this
library of optimization problems, and to provide a forum of discussion for
algorithm developers and application users where alternative formulations
can be discussed as well as performance and comparison of algorithms.
The site also provides extensive information on various resources,
meetings and bibliography.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to:
minlp@andrew.cmu.edu

We very much look forward to your participation.
