- Robert Fourer, professor of industrial engineering and management sciences, has received the Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize for Excellence in Computational Mathematical Programming. The triennial prize, awarded at the Mathematical Programming Society’s recent symposium in Copenhagen, was for the paper, Optimization on the NEOS Server (www.siam.org/siamnews/07-02/neos.pdf). Fourer shares the prize with co-authors at Argonne National Laboratory: senior computer scientist Jorge Moré, Enrico Fermi Scholar Todd Munson; and NEOS administrator Elizabeth Dolan. All are active in the Optimization Technology Center jointly sponsored by Argonne and Northwestern. Fourer’s research centers on the principles and design of software systems for large-scale optimization. NEOS (for Network-Enabled Optimization System) is now the premier source of information on the Web for users of optimization software.
