CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we announce the second
AIMMS/MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition for students. The
competition is organized jointly by the conference organizers of MOPTA
and Paragon Decision Technology (http://www.aimms.com) (the developers
of AIMMS).

The problem involves optimizing a financial portfolio in the presence
of different tax rules. The teams have to model and solve the
optimization problem using AIMMS (provided to the participants free of
charge). The best teams will compete in the final, taking place at the
2010 MOPTA conference, August 18-20 at Lehigh University, Bethlehem,
PA, USA.

Teams of at most three students can participate. Each member of the
team must be registered as a full-time student at a recognized
educational institution during the spring term of the 2008-2009
academic year. Students with a background in operations research,
regardless of their actual field of study are eligible. Teams from all
over the world can participate, as long as at least one team member
can come to the conference, should the team make it to the final. All
teams have to register at the MOPTA competition WEB site. The official
language of the competition is English.
