Integer Programming: Theory and Practice contains refereed articles that explore both theoretical aspects of integer programming as well as major applications.
This volume begins with a description of new constructive and iterative search methods for solving the Boolean optimization problem (BOOP). Following a review of recent developments on convergent Lagrangian techniques that use objective level-cut and domain-cut methods to solve separable nonlinear integer-programming problems, the book discusses the generalized assignment problem (GAP). The final theoretical chapter analyzes the...

This volume contains selected papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research SOR 2002 held at the University of Klagenfurt from Sep tember 2 to September 5, 2002. The conference was organized under the auspices of the German, the Swiss and the Austrian Operations Research societies - Gesellschaft fiir Operations Research e.V. (GOR) - Schweizerische Vereinigung fiirOperations Research (SVOR) - Osterreichische Gesellschaft fiirOperations Research (OGOR). After Vienna (1990), Berlin (1994) and Ziirich (1998) this has been the fourth time that the three societies...

Die 10. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft fOr Operations Research fand vom 30. September bis 2. Oktober 1981 an der Universitat GOttingen statt. Die Tagung bot einen Oberblick Ober neueste Ergebnisse der Forschung und der Anwendung des Operations Research; fOr die etwa 400 Teilnehmer war sie wieder ein bewahrtes Fo- rum zum Austausch von Erfahrungen sowohl zwischen Experten als auch zwischen den Hochschulen und der Praxis. Das wissenschaftliche Programm, bestehend aus 122 Vortragen, ist in 22 Sek- tionen eingeteilt, die jeweils bestimmten mathematischen Modellen und Methoden oder einem...

Vom 22.-24. September fand die 11. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft fOr Operations Research in den Raumen der Universitat Frankfurt statt.Mehr als 400 Teilnehmer folgten der Einladung der DGOR und diskutierten die neuesten metho- dischen Entwicklungslinien sowie ihre aktuellen Anwendungserfahrungen auf den unterschiedlichsten Gebieten des Operations Research. Der Charakter der einzelnen DGOR-Tagungen wird sehr stark durch das seit Jahren bewahrte Organisationsprinzip gepragt, Themenschwerpunkte in einzelnen Sektionen zu behandeln, die von Sektionsleitern weitgehend eigenverantwortlich...
