Hi there,

I was wondering if there is any plan to have some semi-infinite solver interfaced through JuMP at some point (for instance [NSIPS](http://www.norg.uminho.pt/aivaz/nsips.html)).

I suppose it is not the case, but it doesn’t hurt to ask 😉

I don’t know anyone working on NSIPS but we are currently transitioning the solver interface from [MathProgBase](https://github.com/JuliaOpt/MathProgBase.jl) to [MathOptInterface](https://github.com/JuliaOpt/MathOptInterface.jl).  
The new interface is extensible by design and the purpose of this extensibility is for example extending the interface to new classes of problems such as semi-infinite programming.  
It shouldn’t therefore be too complicated to make it possible to pass semi-infinite constraints through JuMP to NSIPS with [JuMP v0.19 which will use MathOptInterface](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/mathoptinterface-and-upcoming-breaking-changes-in-jump-0-19/4874). The documentation on how to extend JuMP will be [here](http://www.juliaopt.org/JuMP.jl/latest/extensions.html)
