There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The inaugural IOS Balas Prize is awarded to Professor Santanu S. Dey for broad and significant contributions to the theory, methodology, and applications of Discrete Optimization. The award citation highlights that Dr. Dey has made strong and seminal contributions to the theory of maximal lattice-free convex sets, multi-row cuts, sparse cutting planes in integer programming, the structure of mixed-integer convex optimization, and along with co-authors, developed practical algorithms for power problems based on strong relaxations from a detailed analysis of the underlying systems.
