Dear Colleagues,
Frontline Systems, Inc.
(developers of the Excel Solver, www. frontsys.com; <[log in to unmask]>)
and
Pinter Consulting Services, Inc.
(http://is.dal.ca/~jdpinter; <[log in to unmask]>)
are pleased to announce the release of our jointly developed LGO Solver
engine, fully
compatible with the Excel Solver product line.
LGO is a proprietary software product which has been developed by Pinter
Consulting
Services, to analyse and solve global (multiextremal) optimization
problems. LGO is also
available from PCS, in several (other) flexible implementations.
The LGO Solver engine development project has led to new and improved
solver features,
in addition to full compatibility with the Excel Solver product family. The
www site of Frontline
Systems provides detailed information regarding the full range of Solver
options and products.
The research leading to LGO - as summarized in my book 'Global Optimization
in Action'
- was awarded the 2000 INFORMS Computing Society Prize for Research
Excellence.
See e.g., http://www.informs.org/Prizes/ICSPrize.html#ICSPrize;
or http://www.informs.org/Prizes/computing_research_00.html.
(This work has been adopted by INFORMS, and it is offered to members at a
significantly
reduced price. Please contact INFORMS <www.informs.org> for further
information.)
In addition to our model and algorithm development expertise, Pinter
Consulting Services is
pleased to offer assistance in relation to using the advanced Excel Solver
family. Our special
area of expertise is nonlinear / global optimization, but we also have
experience in using other
advanced modeling platforms and solvers. Please contact us for further
information.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Janos D. Pinter, M.Sc., Ph.D., D.Sc.
