From the Foreword by Marshall Fisher, The Wharton School,
University of Pennsylvania: As generation of academics and
practitioners follows generation, it is worthwhile to compile long
views of the research and practice in the past to shed light on
research and practice going forward. This collection of
peer-reviewed articles is intended to provide such a long view.
This book contains a collection of chapters written by leading
scholars/practitioners who have continued their efforts in
developing and/or implementing innovative OR/MS tools for solving
real world problems. In this book, the contributors share their
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: * Survey articles taking a
long view over the past two or more decades to arrive at the
present state of the art while outlining ideas for future research.
Surveys focus on use of a particular OR/MS approach, e.g.,
mathematical programming (LP, MILP, etc.) and solution methods for
particular family of application, e.g., distribution system design,
distribution planning system, health care. * Autobiographical or
biographical accounts of how particular inventions (e.g.,
Structured Modeling) were made. These could include personal
experiences in early development of OR/MS and an overview of what
has happened since. * Development of OR/MS mathematical tools
(e.g., stochastic programming, optimization theory). * Development
of OR/MS in a particular industry sector such as global supply
chain management. * Modeling systems for OR/MS and their
development over time as well as speculation on future development
(e.g., LINDO, LINGO, and What'sBest!) * New applications of OR/MS
models (e.g., happiness) The target audience of this book is young
researchers, graduate/advanced undergraduate students from OR/MS
and related fields like computer science, engineering, and
management as well as practitioners who want to understand how
OR/MS modeling came about over the past few decades and what
research topics or modeling approaches they could pursue in
research or application.
