The procurement of transportation services via large-scale combinatorial auctions involves a couple of complex decisions whose outcome highly influences the performance of the tender process. This paper examines the shipper's task of selecting a subset of the submitted bids which efficiently...

Moderne computergestützte Informationssysteme zur Transportdisposition können einen signifikanten Beitrag zur dringend notwendigen Erschließung von Rationalisierungspotenzialen im Transportgewerbe leisten. Giselher Pankratz präsentiert ein Modell eines speditionellen Dispositionsproblems,...
