This book explores the methodological and application developments
of network design in transportation and logistics. It identifies
trends, challenges and research perspectives in network design for
these areas. Network design is a major class of problems in
operations research where network flow, combinatorial and mixed
integer optimization meet. The analysis and planning of
transportation and logistics systems continues to be one of the
most important application areas of operations research. Networks
provide the natural way of depicting such systems, so the optimal
design and operation of networks is the main methodological area of
operations research that is used for the analysis and planning of
these systems. This book defines the current state of the art in
the general area of network design, and then turns to its
applications to transportation and logistics. New research
challenges are addressed. Network Design with Applications to
Transportation and Logistics is divided into three parts. Part I
examines basic design problems including fixed-cost network design
and parallel algorithms. After addressing the basics, Part II
focuses on more advanced models. Chapters cover topics such as
multi-facility network design, flow-constrained network design, and
robust network design. Finally Part III is dedicated entirely to
the potential application areas for network design. These areas
range from rail networks, to city logistics, to energy transport.
All of the chapters are written by leading researchers in the
field, which should appeal to analysts and planners.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Combinatorial
Optimization, ISCO 2020, which was due to be held in Montreal,
Canada, in May 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The 24 revised full papers presented in this
book were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions.They
were organized in the following topical sections: polyhedral
combinatorics; integer programming; scheduling; matching; Network
Design; Heuristics.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, popular
music was considered nothing but vulgar entertainment. Today, jazz
and rock music are seen as forms of art, and their practitioners
are regularly accorded a status on par with the cultural and
political elite. To take just one recent example, Bono, lead singer
and lyricist of the rock band U2, got equal and sometimes higher
billing than Pope John Paul II on their shared efforts in the
Jubilee 2000 debt-relief project.
When and how did popular music earn so much cultural capital? To
find out, Bernard Gendron investigates five key historical moments
when popular music and avant-garde art transgressed the rigid
boundaries separating high and low culture to form friendly
alliances. He begins at the end of the nineteenth century in
Paris's Montmartre district, where cabarets showcased popular music
alongside poetry readings in spaces decorated with modernist art
works. Two decades later, Parisian poets and musicians "slumming"
in jazz clubs assimilated jazz's aesthetics in their performances
and compositions. In the bebop revolution in mid-1940s America,
jazz returned the compliment by absorbing modernist devices and
postures, in effect transforming itself into an avant-garde art
form. Mid-1960s rock music, under the leadership of the Beatles,
went from being reviled as vulgar music to being acclaimed as a
cutting-edge art form. Finally, Gendron takes us to the Mudd Club
in the late 1970s, where New York punk and new wave rockers were
setting the aesthetic agenda for a new generation of artists.
"Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club" should be on the shelves of
anyone interested in the intersections between high and low
culture, art and music, or history and aesthetics.
