This volume reflects the theme of the INFORMS 2004 Meeting in
Denver: Back to OR Roots. Emerging as a quantitative approach to
problem-solving in World War II, our founders were physicists,
mathematicians, and engineers who quickly found peace-time uses. It
is fair to say that Operations Research (OR) was born in the same
incubator as computer science, and it has spawned many new
disciplines, such as systems engineering, health care management,
and transportation science. Although people from many disciplines
routinely use OR methods, many scientific researchers, engineers,
and others do not understand basic OR tools and how they can help
them. Disciplines ranging from finance to bioengineering are the
beneficiaries of what we do - we take an interdisciplinary approach
to problem-solving. Our strengths are modeling, analysis, and
algorithm design. We provide a quanti- tive foundation for a broad
spectrum of problems, from economics to medicine, from
environmental control to sports, from e-commerce to computational -
ometry. We are both producers and consumers because the mainstream
of OR is in the interfaces. As part of this effort to recognize and
extend OR roots in future probl- solving, we organized a set of
tutorials designed for people who heard of the topic and want to
decide whether to learn it. The 90 minutes was spent addre- ing the
questions: What is this about, in a nutshell? Why is it important?
Where can I learn more? In total, we had 14 tutorials, and eight of
them are published here.
