hi all, you may be interested in stochastic programming and optimization with free Python module FuncDesigner ( http://openopt.org/FuncDesigner ). We have wrote Stochastic addon for FuncDesigner ( http://openopt.org/StochasticProgramming ), but (at least for several years) it will be commercional (currently it's free for some small-scaled problems only and for noncommercial research / educational purposes only). However, we will try to keep our prices several times less than our competitors have. Also, we will provide some discounts, including region-based ones, and first 15 customers will also got a discount. For further information, documentation and some examples etc read more at http://openopt.org/StochasticProgramming ---------------------------- Regards, D. http://openopt.org/Dmitrey
