Advanced Computing and Optimization Infrastructure for Extremely Large- Scale Graphs on Post Peta-Scale Supercomputers.- ppOpen-HPC: Open Source Infrastructure for Development and Execution of Large-Scale Scientific Applications on Post-Peta-Scale Supercomputers with Automatic Tuning.- Mixed integer programming with the Gurobi optimizer.- The SCIP Optimization Suite - Concepts, Developments, and Applications.- Proximity-driven MIP heuristics, with an application to wind farm layout optimization.- Mathematical and organizational issues related to the scheduling of the Operating Theaters.- Recent Issues and Advances in Research on Supply Chain Network Design.- Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Approaches to Optimal Design and Operation of Distributed Energy Systems.
This book clearly shows the importance, usefulness, and powerfulness of current optimization technologies, in particular, mixed-integer programming and its remarkable applications. It is intended to be the definitive study of state-of-the-art optimization technologies for students, academic researchers, and non-professionals in industry. The chapters of this book are based on a collection of selected and extended papers from the “IMI Workshop on Optimization in the Real World” held in October 2014 in Japan.
