9 The COIN-OR Stochastic Modeling Interface (SMI) is an interface for
10 problems in which uncertainty and optimization appear
11 together. There are many modeling and algorithmic approaches that
12 could belong here, like: recourse programming, chance constrained
13 programming, stochastic control and dynamic programming, robust
14 optimization, etc, etc. SMI is intended to be like OSI in the sense
15 that an SmiXX object is an implementation derived from a base class
16 that takes care of a number of commonly encountered programming
17 issues, like handling probability distributions, managing problem
18 generation, interacting with solvers to obtain solution information,
