Welcome to the new web page for the research group "Sistemas de Optimización Aplicada SOA" or Applied Optimization Systems. SOA is a dynamic research group formed by university professors and highly qualified individuals. We conduct research into relevant problems, both specific and general,  concerning socio economic sectors at a local, national and international level.

The SOA group is centered around production, logistics, routing and inventory problems, among many others. We provide solutions to those problems for which general and specifically tailored solutions or existing procedures have failed to provide satisfactory results. To this end, we employ the most advanced optimization technologies from management science, operations research, computer science, artificial intelligence and industrial engineering.
