Overview

At the beginning of the 21st century, optimization is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. It is evolving in response to challenges and opportunities from industry. From a largely dominant focus on specific problems, optimization is rapidly expanding to provide all the ingredients for a surge of a much broader development of technological, business and financial innovations. The chapters in the book give information about the most up-to-date advances of optimization in telecommunications, supply chain management, auto manufacturing, aerospace engineering, power industry, air traffic management, complexity and others. The book aims to provide an opportunity for researchers in optimization and leaders of industry to understand the significance of the changes by presenting the field's accomplishments, new developments and future directions.
