About this title

Synopsis

The essays collected in this volume present a broad survey of the state of the art in logistics systems research as viewed by a distinguished group of scholars. The book shows that logistics remains an active, vibrant subject of inquiry. There are several reasons for this continued development. Firstly, logistic systems are extremely complex with many inherent technical problems and fundamentally new approaches to the subject are frequently arising. Secondly, the practical world of logistics has changed markedly over the past few decades, posing significant new challenges to researchers. This volume focuses mainly on the key developments in the last decade, which has witnessed an astonishing leap in our understanding of what logistics is all about.

Review

I highly recommend this book to both newcomers for getting a good overview and experienced workers for hints to new quantitatively oriented methods. -- Optimization

In short, this book written by renowned authorities on each of the subject areas examined will without doubt become an essential reference for those interested in research related to logistic systems and an interesting support book for practitioners. -- Interfaces

This huge collection of high quality surveys, all inter-related inter-referenced and still with amazingly few overlappings, will provide an excellent high-level introduction to the interested novice, a wealth of information and models to the practitioner, and an important reference source for the researcher. -- Zentralblatt f�r Mathematik
