| History
CFSQP
and FFSQP were originally developed by Andre Tits' research
group at the Institute
for Systems Research (ISR),
University of Maryland, College Park. Responsibility for
their further development and support was transferred to AEM
Design in 2000.
The
first version of the Fortran implementation of FSQP (FFSQP;
initially simply called FSQP) was released in 1989. The algorithm's
main architects were Dr. Eliane R. Panier and Prof.
Andre Tits at the University of Maryland. The implementation
was due to Jian Zhou. The
first version of the C implementation (CFSQP), carried out
by Craig
Lawrence, followed in 1993.
The
successive versions of both packages were made widely available
over the Internet. As a result, voluminous feedback was received
over the years from the user community, in the form of bug
reports, suggested fixes, suggested enhancements, etc. A few
individuals deserve special recognition for going well above
and beyond the call of duty. Those helping with CFSQP include
Adam Schwartz of the University of California, Berkeley, Greg
Anderson of Intel, Martin Wauchope of CRA, Australia, and
Steven Drucker of MIT. Those helping with FFSQP include Jaroslav
Dolezal and Jiri Fidler at CZ Academy of Sciences, Klaus Schittkowski
at U Bayreuth, and Yaguang Yang of the Institute for Systems
Research at the University of Maryland, College Park. Their
efforts went a long way to improving the robustness and portability
of the FSQP implementations. Thanks to all!
