Overview

The Encyclopedia aims to provide decision-makers in the OR field with a comprehensive overview of the range of ideas and forces that combine in the fields of operations research and management science. New entry topics for the 3rd edition, include the following, yield management, flexible queuing systems, service mangement, local search, tolerance sensitivity analysis, influence diagrams, knowledge management, strategy and policy making, school districting, computational biology, lagrangian relaxation, closed-loop supply chain, sensitivity analysis, bioinformatics, rendevous search, ant search algorithms, agriculture and forestry resources, and many others...Among the topics treated in the 2nd edition that will be revisited in the 3rd edition are: analytic network process, call centers, certainty equivalence, comb. optimization by simulated ce, computational organization, constraint programming, data mining, degeneracy graphs, economic order q extensions, educational issues in b-schools, electronic commerce, financial markets, global climate change, hidden markov models, history of early british or, implementation for public sector, info tech benefits, interactive multi-objective math. programming, knapsacks with nonlinearities, little's law in distribution form, military ops other than war, multivariate quality control, perturbation analysis, simulation metamodeling, simulation optimization, supply chain management, theory of constraints, timetabling.
