Overview
- Couples the difficult, critical-thinking aspects of mathematical modeling with the hot area of discrete optimization. It will be done in an academic handbook treatment outlining the state-of-the-art for researchers across the domains of the Computer Science, Math Programming, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Operations Research
- In illustrating the modeling and methodology of the volume are a range of high-interest application problems. These applications include network problems, constraint logic programming, engineering problems, computer design, finance problems, medical diagnoses, medical treatment problems, applications of the genome project, an array of transportation scheduling problems and others
- The editors are internationally-known research scholars in the field and they have attracted some of the best names in the field to do commissioned chapters in the handbook. There is considerable interest in the handbook because it utilizes the tools of mathematical modeling, optimization, and integer programming to solve a broad range of modern problems
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science (ISOR, volume 88)

From the reviews:
"The book consists of a collection of self-contained chapters written by well-respected experts in the field. … the style of presentation is sufficiently uniform. … the editors formulate demonstration and communication of the pervasive nature of discrete optimization as their primary goal in producing this book. There are no doubts that they have achieved this goal." (Antanas Zilinskas, Interfaces, Vol. 38 (2), 2008)
