The Prize is sponsored by the Mathematical Optimization Society, in
memory of Martin Beale and William Orchard-Hays, pioneers in
computational mathematical programming. Nominated works must have been
published between Jan 1, 2012 and Dec 31, 2017, and demonstrate
excellence in any aspect of computational mathematical programming.
"Computational mathematical programming" includes the development of
high-quality mathematical programming algorithms and software, the
experimental evaluation of mathematical programming algorithms, and
the development of new methods for the empirical testing of
mathematical programming techniques.
