Overview
The material within the book provides both the basic backgrounds for the novice modeler and a useful reference for experienced modelers. It represents the exploitation of recent mathematical tools and methods to solve large optimization models with contributions from leading edge American and European companies and Universities.
Audience: Students, researchers and OR practitioners will appreciate the details of the modeling techniques, the processes that have been implemented and the computational results that demonstrate the benefits in applying OR in the Space and Airline industries.
Synopsis
This collection of 21 papers reflects the experience and expertise of international operations research (OR) consulting companies and academic groups. It provides basic background for the novice modeler and a useful reference for experienced modelers, as well as practical examples of how advanced applications can be used by space and air industry management. Each paper addresses the synergistic effect of OR tools interaction, describes the mathematical models formulated, introduces the algorithms used and reports the benefits of their implementation. For students, researchers and OR practitioners. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
