This collection of peer-reviewed articles is intended to\nprovide such a long view.\nThis book contains a collection of chapters written by leading scholars\/practitioners\nwho have continued their efforts in developing and\/or implementing innovative\nOR\/MS tools for solving real world problems. In this book, the contributors share\ntheir perspectives about the past, present and future of OR\/MS theoretical development, solution tools, modeling approaches, and applications. Specifically, this book collects chapters that offer insights about the following topics:\n• Survey articles taking a long view over the past two or more decades to arrive\nat the present state of the art while outlining ideas for future research. Surveys\nfocus on use of a particular OR\/MS approach, e.g., mathematical programming\n(LP, MILP, etc.) and solution methods for particular family of application, e.g.,\ndistribution system design, distribution planning system, health care.\n• Autobiographical or biographical accounts of how particular inventions (e.g.,\nStructured Modeling) were made. These could include personal experiences in\nearly development of OR\/MS and an overview of what has happened since.\n• Development of OR\/MS mathematical tools (e.g., stochastic programming, optimization\ntheory).\n• Development of OR\/MS in a particular industry sector such as global supply\nchain management.\n• Modeling systems for OR\/MS and their development over time as well as speculation\non future development (e.g., LINDO, LINGO, and What’sBest!)\n• New applications of OR\/MS models (e.g., happiness)\nThe target audience of this book is young researchers, graduate\/advanced undergraduate\nstudents from OR\/MS and related fields likecomputer science, engineering,\nand management as well as practitioners who want to understand how OR\/MS\nmodeling came about over the past few decades and what research topics or modeling\napproaches they could pursue in research or application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461426752\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-6810-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 300\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378476310668,"sku":"9781461426752","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461426752.jpg?v=1775004695","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461426752","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
