We will celebrate the birthday with a Marvin Community Event taking place on March 19, 2026 with an Invited talk by Dr. Georg Hager (National High Performance Computing Center in Erlangen NHR@FAU) which is about supporting high-performance code with resource-based performance models: “Do the math! Pen-and-paper HPC for fun and profit”. Dr. Hager will also give a full-day hands-on HPC performance engineering workshop taking place on March 17 (“Node Node-Level Performance Engineering”, and a Hackathon (“Bring Your Own Code – Performance Optimization with LIKWID” on March 18. See here for more information.

Our paper titled "Enhancing Graph Edit Distance Computation: Stronger and Orientation-based ILP Formulations" co-authored by Andrea D'axcezo, Julian Meffert, Petra Mutzel and Fabrizio Rossi, has appeared in the Proceedings for the VLDB Endowment (VLDB) 2025 (A* ranked). In there, we suggest new ILP formulations for the graph edit distance problem, and theoretically show that they theoretically and practically dominate all existing ones. We are able to solve many more instances (and much larger sizes) from the standard benchmark instances to provable optimality as previous approaches.
