Extending the Horizons: Advances in Computing, Optimization, and Decision Technologies

  • An excellent collection of editors: Ed Baker and Mike Trick are well-known researchers in computational OR with international reputations; Mehrota (Department Chair at Miami) and Joseph are young researchers with excellent educational pedigree; Mike Trick is a former president of INFORMS and a creative scholar whose participation add much to the volume
  • The papers that are accepted for the volume first survive an initial peer review for the conference. Then the best conference papers are invited and re-reviewed for the volume. Suffice to say the contents will be carefully reviewed and vetted for quality research
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series (ORCS, volume 37)

About this book

Computer Science and Operations Research continue to have a synergistic relationship and this book represents the results of cross-fertilization between OR/MS and CS/AI. It is this interface of OR/CS that makes possible advances that could not have been achieved in isolation. Taken collectively, these articles are indicative of the state-of-the-art in the interface between OR/MS and CS/AI and of the high caliber of research being conducted by members of the INFORMS Computing Society.

Extending the Horizons: Advances in Computing, Optimization, and Decision Technologies is a volume that presents the latest, leading research in the design and analysis of algorithms, computational optimization, heuristic search and learning, modeling languages, parallel and distributed computing, simulation, computational logic and visualization. This volume also emphasizes a variety of novel applications in the interface of CS, AI, and OR/MS.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"The aim of the book is to ‘reflect the current research interests of many of the INFORMS Computing Society’s members’. … The collection contains 15 selected papers, each of which underwent a review process. … Overall, I would recommend the book, particularly to researchers and graduate students who are interested in one of the included areas of research. … In my opinion, the book can make a valuable contribution to a library or a research group … ." (MJ Geiger, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 59, 2008)
