Synopsis

Optimization is a serious issue, touching many aspects of our life and activity. But it has not yet been completely absorbed in our culture. In this book the authors point out how relatively young even the word model is. On top of that, the concept is rather elusive. How to deal with a technology that ?nds applicationsinthingsasdi?erentaslogistics,robotics,circuitlayout,?nancial deals and tra?c control? Although, during the last decades, we made signi?cant progress, the broad public remained largely unaware of that. The days of John von Neumann, with his vast halls full of people frantically working mechanical calculators are long gone. Things that looked completely impossible in my youth, like solving mixed integer problems are routine by now. All that was not just achieved by ever faster and cheaper computers, but also by serious progress in mathematics. But even in a world that more and more understands that it cannot a?ord to waste resources, optimization remains to a large extent unknown. R It is quite logical and also fortunate that SAP , the leading supplier of enterprise management systems has embedded an optimizer in his software. The authors have very carefully investigated the capabilities and the limits of APO. Remember that optimization is still a work in progress. We do not have the tool that does everything for everybody.

À propos de l'auteur

Prof. Dr. Josef Kallrath has studied mathematics, physics and astronomy in Bonn, where he received his doctorate in 1989 with an astrophysical dissertation on the dynamics of colliding binary stellar winds. He is working in practice (BASF SE, Ludwigshafen; 1989-2019), freelances since 1998 as a scientific consultant and solves practical problems in industry with scientific computing and operations research techniques. His work focuses on mathematical optimization to support decision processes in chemical industry, paper industry, metal industry, energy industry, transport infrastructure and the modeling of physical systems. He has taught at the University of Heidelberg (1991-2001) and, since 1997, at the University of Florida in Gainesville/USA. Since 2002, he has headed the Mathematical Optimization Practice Group of the Gesellschaft für Operations Research (GOR).
