The disciplines of computer science and operations research (OR)
have been linked since their origins, each contributing to the
dramatic advances of the other. This work explores the connections
between these key technologies: how high-performance computing
methods have led to advances in OR de ployment, and how OR has
contributed to the design and development of ad vanced systems. The
collected writings-from researchers and practitioners in Computer
Science, Operations Research, Management Science, and Artificial
Intelligence-were among those delivered at the Fifth INFORMS
Computer Science Technical Section Conference in Dallas, Texas,
January 8-10, 1996. The articles advance both theory and practice.
Presented are new approaches to complex problems based on:
metaheuristics (neural networks, genetic al gorithms, and Tabu
Search), optimization and mathematical programming, stochastic
methods, constraint programming, and logical analysis. These ad
vanced methodologies are applied to new applications in such areas
as: telecom munications network design, financial engineering,
manufacturing, project man agement, and forecasting, airline and
machine scheduling, vehicle routing, mod eling and decision support
systems. Featured is a remarkable paper by keynote speaker Fred
Glover, creator of the Tabu Search family of metaheuristics. In it
he develops the principles of memory-based heuristic methods,
contrasts them with the popular genetic algorithms and simulated
annealing, provides a sweeping survey of application vignettes, and
points to promising avenues for future research."
