The idea was to use it for my event planning startup, but that didn't work out anyway, so I decided to open source this work. Getting or-tools to compile as it is a bit difficult, it's not super portable. Getting it to work multi-threaded across new and old browsers took a lot of work, and since my event planning tool never took off, I thought I would open source this part. You should be able to run everywhere, but tell me if it doesn't work. I haven't benchmarked again the original yet, but WASM tends to be 60% the speed of native. The one catch is that the web workers take forever to spin up, so for small tasks it's often run quickest on 1 thread.

Open to thoughts, feedback, ideas!

LLMs are becoming surprisingly strong in analysis, synthesis, and business reasoning.
Are we moving toward truly computational management…
or simply better decision support for human executives?
And is there already an academic field or theoretical framework studying this direction?

Hi all, I have a presentation in this meeting this year. They told me to register before July to make sure of my slot. But I don't see the link to registration. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I’m a final year BSc student working on a scheduling problem for my thesis. The idea is that for my model its complexity is already known, so it’s proven to be polynomial but only through LP machinery arguments. There doesn’t exist a concrete algorithm for it (to the best of my knowledge). I have managed to come up with one and prove its correctness and I was wondering would this be worthy of publication at a serious place like Journal of Scheduling or OR Letters? This is my first time ever doing research and I really really like it but I’m trying to understand the whole publication world and the scope overall.

Any suggestions / questions are welcome!

Thank you
