Mathematical Optimization Society

The Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS), known as the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) until 2010,[1] is an international association of researchers active in optimization.The MOS encourages the research, development, and use of optimization—including mathematical theory, software implementation, and practical applications (operations research).Founded in 1973 (52 years ago) (1973), the MOS has several activities: Publishing journals and a newsletter, organizing and cosponsoring conferences, and awarding prizes.To provide a discussion forum for researchers in the field arose, the journal Mathematical Programming was founded in 1970.Based on activities by George Dantzig, Albert Tucker, Philip Wolfe and others, the MOS was founded in 1973, with George Dantzig as its first president.
