This volume contains a selection of papers referring to lectures presented at the symposium ”OperationsResearch 2006” (OR 2006) held at the university of Karlsruhe, September 6 - 8, 2006. This international conference took place under the auspices of the Operations Research Societies of Germany (GOR), ¨ Austria (OGOR), and Switzerland (SVOR). The symposiumwas attended by morethan 600academicsand practiti- ers from 35 countries. It presented the state of the art in Operations Research and related areas in Economics, Mathematics, and Computer Science and demonstrated the broad applicability of its core themes, placing particular emphasis on Basel II, one of the most topical challenges of Operations - search. The scienti?c program consisted of two plenary talks, eleven semi-plenary talks and more than 400 contributed papers, selected by the program c- mittee and arranged in 19 sections. These presentations were complemented by the lectures of the GOR prize winners including the Unternehmenspreis, which has been awarded for the ?rst time. Firstofallwethankallparticipantsoftheconference,whosubmittedtheir paper for publication. However, due to a limited number of pages available for the proceedings volume, the total number of accepted papers had to be restricted. Moreover, we want to express our thanks to the program committee and the section chairs for their support in acquiring interesting contributions and acting as a referee. Finally, we thank Anna Palej for gathering and editing the accepted papers as well as Dr. Werner A. Muller ¨ and Barbara Feß from Springer for their support in publishing this volume.

This book presents a unified treatment of linear programming. Without sacrificing mathematical rigor, the main emphasis of the book is on models and applications. The most important classes of problems are surveyed and presented by means of mathematical formulations, followed by solution methods and a discussion of a variety of "what-if" scenarios. Non-simplex based solution methods and newer developments such as interior point methods are covered along with a variety of approaches that incorporate multiple objectives in the model. .

Applied Stochastic Processes uses a distinctly applied framework to present the most important topics in the field of stochastic processes. Key features: -Presents carefully chosen topics such as Gaussian and Markovian processes, Markov chains, Poisson processes, Brownian motion, and queueing theory -Examines in detail special diffusion processes, with implications for finance, various generalizations of Poisson processes, and renewal processes -Serves graduate students in a variety of disciplines such as applied mathematics, operations research, engineering, finance, and business administration -Contains numerous examples and approximately 350 advanced problems, reinforcing both concepts and applications -Includes entertaining mini-biographies of mathematicians, giving an enriching historical context -Covers basic results in probability Two appendices with statistical tables and solutions to the even-numbered problems are included at the end. This textbook is for graduate students in applied mathematics, operations research, and engineering. Pure mathematics students interested in the applications of probability and stochastic processes and students in business administration will also find this book useful. Bio: Mario Lefebvre received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in mathematics from the Université de Montréal, Canada, and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Cambridge, England. He is a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering at the École Polytechnique de Montréal. He has written five books, including another Springer title, Applied Probability and Statistics, and has published numerous papers on applied probability, statistics, and stochastic processes in international mathematical and engineering journals. This book developed from the author’s lecture notes for a course he has taught at the École Polytechnique de Montréal since 1988.

A lot of time and money is invested in collaborative research and development projects at universities, research institutes and companies. But how should these complex projects be planned and run to create valuable commercial outcomes? This book is a manual for all individuals and organisations from academia and industry working together on research and development projects. Whether grant funded, company to company or academic to company, this inspiring and highly readable book covers winning grant support, the legal arrangements, working with academics and practitioners, managing project progress and exploiting the project results. The examples, practical methods and tips in this book will not only help the reader prepare for grant applications, but more importantly help to achieve the best results and returns from every collaborative project.

Les notions d'ordre, de classement, de rangement sont présentés dans de multiples activités et situations humaines. La formalisation mathématique de ces notions a permis d'abord le grand développement de la théorie des treillis, puis celui de structures ordonnées plus générales, notamment celles relevant des mathématiques discrètes. Les buts principaux de cet ouvrage qui comble un vide sont donc de: - donner les concepts et résultats fondamentaux sur les ensembles ordonnés finis, - présenter leurs usages dans des domaines variés (de la RO ou l’IA à la micro-économie), - signaler un certain nombre de résultats et de recherches en cours. Le lecteur sera ainsi à même de trouver tout ce qu'il a besoin de connaître sur ces structures sans devoir le rechercher dans de multiples revues relevant de disciplines variées.
