Operations Research Proceedings 2022: Selected Papers of the Annual International Conference of the German Operations Research Society (GOR), Karlsruhe, Germany, September 6-9, 2022

This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2022), which was held at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, on September 6-9, 2022. KIT’s Institute for Operations Research (IOR) hosted the conference together with the Institute for Industrial Production (IIP), the Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics (IAI), and the Institute for Material Handling and Logistics (IFL).

The respective papers discuss classical mathematical optimization, statistics and simulation techniques. These are complemented by computer science methods, and by tools for processing data, designing and implementing information systems. The book also examines recent advances in information technology, which allow big data volumes to be processed and enable real-time predictive and prescriptive business analytics to drive decisions and actions. Lastly, it includes problems modeled and treated while taking into account uncertainty, risk management, behavioral issues, etc.

Oliver Grothe is a Full Professor of Analytics and Statistics and Dean of Studies for Mathematical Economics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. He was awarded the venia legendi in statistics and econometrics in 2013. His particular research focus areas are dependence structures in high-dimensional data, networks and processes, risk measurement and financial market modeling, prediction and optimal design in energy markets, and problems in medical statistics.
