Overview
- Addresses two types of needs in the research of network optimization: 1) to present the latest research efforts and findings on time-varying network optimization; and 2) to examine key models and results on dynamic network optimization problems that can be used by academics, practitioners, and graduate students or senior-year undergraduate students
- There is a great need to seek optimal solutions on these types of time-varying networks. This has become particularly relevant and important in those complicated networks in the changing environments today, such as transportation networks, telecommunication networks, and the Internet – this book treats these problems
- The Ahuja, Magnati & Orlin Network Flows textbook for Prentice Hall (1993) is the single dominant book in the market; however, it treats only static network optimization flows. Cai et al is the first systematic treatment of time-varying models and algorithms in network optimization. As such, it will be a book of which the entire optimization community across the Applied Sciences will have considerable interest
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
From the reviews:
"This monograph provides a unified framework for a series of models and algorithms to study flow optimization problems in time-varying networks. … the topics covered by this monograph make it useful for graduate students as a textbook and are of interest for engineers and researchers working on time-varying network optimization problems." (Francesc Comellas, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 b)
