In the workshop, the main topics covered:
- new implementation of the website,
- improvements of the exact penalty method,
- bounding and parallelization,
- status of the code.

BiqBin at IPCO

24. 5. 2019, Elisabeth Gaar

Nicolo Gusmeroli and Elisabeth Gaar presented their work at IPCO.

Two researchers of the BiqBin project presented their work at IPCO (Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization) 2019 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

Nicolo Gusmeroli presented in the poster session. The poster rose a lot of interest and Nicolo answered a lot of questions.

The paper "A Bundle Approach for SDPs with Exact Subgraph Constraints" by Elisabeth Gaar and Franz Rendl was accepted at the highly competitive conference IPCO and therefore Elisabeth Gaar gave a talk. As a next step the results of the paper will be included into BiqBin.
