Springer Operations Research Proceedings 2002 - SOR 2002

Explore the academic findings from the International Conference on Operations Research (SOR 2002) held at the University of Klagenfurt. This Springer publication provides a collection of selected papers that represent the state of the field during the conference held from September 2 to September 5, 2002. This volume is a result of a major collaborative effort organized under the auspices of three leading professional organizations: the German Operations Research society (GOR), the Swiss Operations Research society (SVOR), and the Austrian Operations Research society (OGOR). Following previous successful conferences in Vienna (1990), Berlin (1994), and Zurich (1998), this collection marks the fourth time these societies have joined forces to present high-level research in the discipline. Ideal for researchers, students, and professionals in economics and operations research, these proceedings offer a deep look into the scholarly discussions and advancements presented in Klagenfurt. This text serves as a vital reference for those studying the historical development and specific methodologies discussed during this significant international gathering.
