Use of optimization software - as a powerful problem-solving tool - is now growing more quickly than ever


e-Optimization.com is designed as an informational meeting place for anyone interested in optimization software - from expert algorithm developers to business people who wish to learn more about this important technology.

Why e-Optimization.com?

So far, the newsgroups, websites and other online resources for optimization subjects have mainly served a highly technical audience. While this is a key segment of the optimization community, fast-growing interest in optimization is attracting new audiences. And to many of them, the expert-level information that now dominates in the online information world sometimes needs a decoder ring. For this reason, e-Optimization.com will utilize:

Basic information about the field of optimization presented in an easy-to-find way to inform non-experts
Meeting places for those with all kinds of backgrounds to share interests, ask questions, explore issues and make business or personal connections
Opinions and advice from experts
A wealth of informational resources, from outside links to recommended sources, to news - anything and everything related to optimization
Easy navigation, fast search capabilities and other popular features used in professional sites
And much more

What e-Optimization.com isn't

This new web community is just that: a public online community where no person or company gets preferential treatment. The site's host intends e-Optimization.com to be open to any company, organization, university or individual, regardless of affiliation or opinion.

This web community also is not intended as a replacement for existing newsgroups or websites. In fact, e-Optimization.com will include these resources within the site. Contributors to these established sites are strongly encouraged to get involved with e-Optimization.com as a way to make new connections and help the full capabilities of sophisticated optimization software be better understood by the many newcomers now just learning about it.

Features of the site

As a traditional web community, e-Optimization.com will evolve based on the input and interests of community members. However, features to be included in the initial site are:

Forums, where participants can seek and share a wealth of information that covers existing areas, but will - ideally - explore new territories
Case studies, supplied by any person or group that submits them
White papers, technical papers and many other documents
Calendars offering information on upcoming events and other activities of interest to those in the optimization world
A wealth of links to outside resources
Profiles of companies, their products/services, their markets, etc.
An innovative "business broker" feature that enables visitors with optimization projects to directly request information or proposals from companies and consultants profiled on the site
"Who's who" section that explains the background and experience of professionals in the optimization world
Cross links throughout the site to facilitate fast information gathering
News links to the latest headlines of vendors, associations, universities and others
As a true web community, e-Optimization.com will reflect the needs and ideas of its users. Everyone is encouraged to suggest new features, additions and enhancements to the site.
