Items related to Operational Research and Networks
The principal concepts of operations research (OR) are presented in this guide to the tools for the planning support and management of various types of networks, including physical networks, such as road and rail systems, and logical networks—those used in planning complex projects in which connections describe the temporal relations and vertices represent the individual activities of the process. OR analyzes real problems in two stages: the formalization of a mathematical model and the subsequent solution procedure, which is generally algorithmic. The two important categories of models—those based on algebraic formalism and those using the concepts of graphs—are presented in detail, including general solution procedures for both. Project scheduling, distribution networks, telecommunication networks, and the planning of satellite photography are additional featured application areas.

From the Back Cover:
This book presents the principal concepts of operations research (OR) as tools for the planning, support and management of various types of networks, including both physical and logical networks.
About the Author:
Or analyzes real problems in two stages: the formalization of a mathematical model, followed by a solution procedure, which is in general algorithmic. it therefore consists of a collection of models for many application areas, together with the corresponding solution techniques. there are two important categories of models: those based on an algebraic formalism and those using the concepts of graphs. both concepts are presented in detail in this book, along with general solution 0rocedures. Following this, important application areas are addressed, such as project scheduling, distribution networks, telecommunication networks, and planning of satellite imaging. Anyone involved in the theory or practice in this field will fins this a vital resource.
Gerd Finke is professor of operations research at the Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France.
