SoftwareOPTEC promotes the use of state-of-the-art optimization software in engineering - whenever available and appropriate. On the other hand, many interesting problem classes arising in engineering require new optimization methods, and inspire our algorithm developers. Aim is to create reliable and fast, structure exploiting algorithms and make them available to the community as open-source software.
For every frequently used software package, and for every in-house development, we have a responsible contact person as mentioned in the list below, who will be happy to help any new user or developer.
