Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce a workshop on parallel algorithms in 
mathematical optimization from

    January 14 to 16, 2019

held at Zuse Institute Berlin, see https://ug.zib.de/workshop2019/.

The workshop will be centered around the Ubiquity Generator (UG) 
framework, which has proven an powerful tool for creating a multitude of 
parallel branch-and-bound solvers both for shared-memory environments 
and on high-performance super computers.  The workshop has several goals:

- showcase current applications of UG,

- collect feedback from current and potential users and requirements for 
future features,

- give a hands-on tutorial on how to use the UG framework to parallelize 
your own branch-and-bound code and how to improve its performance.

More generally, we wish to

- discuss open questions at the interface of high-performance computing 
and tree search algorithms, as well as

- discuss challenges and best practices for sustainably developing, 
distributing, and maintaining research software.

In this sense, the workshop also highly welcomes a wider audience of 
researchers and software developers working in this area and interested 
in presenting their research and implementations.

Registration is free.  If you want to attend the workshop, please write 
to ug-workshop at zib.de by

    November 30, 2018

and let us know if you are interested in giving a talk.
