Exhibits
 
Aptech Systems, Inc
Booth # 8
23804 SE Kent-Kangley Rd.
Maple Valley, WA 98038
425-432-7855
The threadsafe GAUSS Engine lets applications written in C, C++, Java, or Visual Basic harness the powerful mathematical, optimization and data analysis abilities of the GAUSS Matrix Programming Language. Applications compile and execute GAUSS code "under the hood", invisible to end users and taking full advantage of GAUSS number crunching abilities. The threadsafe feature of the GAUSS Engine allows for the development of multi-user and multi-threaded applications. Calculations in one GAUSS workspace have no effect on data and calculations in another GAUSS workspace. Data may be explicitly passed back and forth between the application and numerous independent GAUSS workspaces.
Dash Optimization
Booth # 6
560 Sylvan Ave.
Englewood, NJ 07632
201-567-9445
Dash Optimization develops and markets Xpress-MP, the world's leading software product for modeling and optimization. Xpress-MP solves large-scale optimization problems and enables better business decisions and resulting financial benefits in areas such as supply chain management, operations, logistics and asset management. It is used in diverse sectors such as manufacturing, processing, distribution, retailing, transport, finance and investment. The Dash Optimization booth will feature live demonstrations of Dash's Xpress-MP products. Along with linear and mixed Integer programming, Dash also offers quadratic programming, parallel processing (for MIP problems), non-linear (NLP) and mixed integer non-linear programming, stochastic programming, and constraint programming capabilities. All of these components will be showcased along with Dash's modeling and programming language Mosel and Xpress-IVE windows development environment.
Frontline Systems, Inc.
Booth #7
P.O. Box 4288
Incline Village, NV 89450
775-831-0300
Frontline Systems developed the Solver in Microsoft Excel, the world's most widely used optimization software. Our Premium Solver products are compatible upgrades to the Excel Solver covering the full spectrum of optimization problems, from linear programming to genetic algorithms, from small prototypes to 100,000-variable models. Our solver DLL products supply easy-to-use optimization for your applications written in Visual Basic, C/C++ and other languages. See how optimization can help you "do more with less," and how working with Excel can cut down the cost and complexity of using optimization technology. Pick up a free evaluation CD at our booth.

Paragon is the developer of AIMMS , the modeling tool of choice for OR professionals to develop optimization based decision support applications and advanced planning systems. It is used by leading companies in a wide range of industries in areas such as supply chain management, production planning, logistics, forestry planning and risk-, revenue- and asset- management.

“AIMMS is our product of choice for both prototyping and fielding customized models. We prefer the algebraic modeling style for ease of development and maintenance of our process and blending models. We save time and get the applications deployed into the refineries much quicker where they can begin making money.”   (Steven Kleinman , BP, Chicago , USA - Supply Chain Specialist)

Resampling Stats
Booth #9
612 N. Jackson St.
Arlington, VA 22201
703-522-2713
XLMiner is a fully integrated add-in to Microsoft Excel offering classification (classification trees, discriminant analysis, logistic regression, neural networks, naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbors), prediction (multiple linear regression with subset selection, k-nearest neighbors, regression trees), association rules, principal components, k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, partitioning into training, validation and test data sets, stratified sampling for rare outcomes, missing data imputation. Statistical and data-mining routines were developed by Cytel (specialists in advanced statistical software), so you get Excel's familiar interface coupled with sound engines. XLMiner is far less expensive than other serious packages with so much comprehensive coverage, and offers a far richer array of utilities and analytical methods than specialist products.
