  Description     : Coin-or branch-and-cut mixed integer programming solver

Cbc (Coin-or branch and cut) is an open-source mixed integer programming
solver written in C++.  It is primarily meant to be used as a callable
library, but a basic, stand-alone executable version is also available.

Mixed integer programming (MIP) is a generalization of linear programming (LP)
and allows to find the minimum solution of objective functions depending
linearly on variables, which are linearly constrained and additionally may
have integrality constraints.

Cbc is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative (Computational Infrastructure for
Operations Research) and depends on the COIN-OR Clp linear programming solver
for solving subproblems.

Cbc works well as independent solver (reading files in the MPS format) and as a
solver backend for AMPL.
