The 17 papers included in this  volume were carefully selected to cover a wide range of topics related  to the interface between operations research and computer science. The  volume includes the now perennial applications of rnetaheuristics  (such as genetic algorithms, scatter search, and tabu search) as well  as research on global optimization, knowledge management, software  rnaintainability and object-oriented modeling. These topics reflect  the complexity and variety of the problems that current and future  software tools must be capable of tackling. The OR\/CS interface is  frequently at the core of successful applications and the development  of new methodologies, making the research in this book a relevant  reference in the future. \u003cbr\u003e  The editors' goal for this book has been to increase the interest in  the interface of computer science and operations research. Both  researchers and practitioners will benefit from this book. The  tutorial papers may spark the interest of practitioners for developing  and applying new techniques to complex problems. In addition, the book  includes papers that explore new angles of well-established methods  for problems in the area of nonlinear optimization and mixed integer  programming, which seasoned researchers in these fields may find  fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792377184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4567-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 317\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311629127820,"sku":"9780792377184","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792377184.jpg?v=1771508739","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792377184","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
