.Der Herausgeberband leistet einen Beitrag zur Überwindung von Barrieren in der Zusammenarbeit von Betriebswirten und Ingenieuren, die u. a. aus den unterschiedlichen Ausbildungstraditionen und fachlichen Herangehensweisen resultieren. PD Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Bandow arbeitet am Fraunhofer-Institut...

Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt die Methoden, die geeignet sind, Entscheidungen in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen, wie Wirtschaft, Politik, Medizin oder Privatsphäre, mit einem höheren Grad an Rationalität zu treffen. Schwerpunkte sind Entscheidungen bei Zielkonflikten, Entscheidungen unter Risiko,...

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,...

This textbook is comprised of detailed case studies covering challenging real world applications of OR techniques. Among the overall goals of the book is to provide readers with descriptions of the history and other background information on a variety of industries, service or other...

This book addresses the challenging task of demand forecasting and inventory management in retailing. It analyzes how information from point-of-sale scanner systems can be used to improve inventory decisions, and develops a data-driven approach that integrates demand forecasting and inventory...

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...

This textbook presents the basics of game theory both on an undergraduate level and on a more advanced mathematical level. It is the second, revised version of the successful 2008 edition. The book covers most topics of interest in game theory, including cooperative game theory. Part I presents...

Simulation-Based Optimization: Parametric Optimization Techniques and Reinforcement Learning introduces the evolving area of static and dynamic simulation-based optimization. Covered in detail are model-free optimization techniques - especially designed for those discrete-event, stochastic...
