This book deals with dynamic and stochastic methods for multi-project planning. Based on the idea of using queueing networks for the analysis of dynamic-stochastic multi-project environments this book addresses two problems: detailed scheduling of project activities, and integrated order...

The book is a benefit for graduate and postgraduate students in the areas of operations research, decision theory, optimization theory, linear algebra, interval analysis, and fuzzy sets. The book will also be useful for the researchers in the respective areas. The first part of the book deals...

Führungskräfte in Unternehmen sind oft von den Folgen ihrer Entscheidungen überrascht: Die Konsequenzen sind häufig unerwartet und nicht erwünscht. Der klassische Ansatz "Entscheidung unter Ungewissheit" erklärt dies mit fehlenden Informationen über exogene Faktoren. Es gibt jedoch...

Mit der wachsenden Komplexität betrieblicher Entscheidungssituationen gewinnt auch der Einsatz der Simulation an Bedeutung. Die Entwicklung der Simulationstechnik ist durch zunehmende Anwendernähe und immer komfortablere Benutzeroberflächen, durch Objektorientierung bei der...

This new edition covers the central concepts of practical optimization techniques, with an emphasis on methods that are both state-of-the-art and popular. Again a connection between the purely analytical character of an optimization problem and the behavior of algorithms used to solve the...

This textbook connects three vibrant areas at the interface between economics and computer science: algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and fair division. It thus offers an interdisciplinary treatment of collective decision making from an economic and computational perspective....

This book covers three fundamental problems at the interface of multi-project management and human resource management: the selection of projects, the composition of small project teams, and workload leveling. Matthias Walter proposes optimization models and solution methods for these problems,...
