The disciplines of computer science and operations research (OR) have been linked since their origins, each contributing to the dramatic advances of the other. This work explores the connections between these key technologies: how high-performance computing methods have led to advances in OR de ployment, and how OR has contributed to the design and development of ad vanced systems. The collected writings-from researchers and practitioners in Computer Science, Operations Research, Management Science, and Artificial Intelligence-were among those delivered at the Fifth INFORMS Computer Science Technical Section Conference in Dallas, Texas, January 8-10, 1996. The articles advance both theory an...
Advances in Manufacturing Technology XVII continues a well-respected series with the papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Manufacturing Research (ICMR 2003) - incorporating the 19th National Conference on Manufacturing Research (NCMR). This essential text provides a thorough review of all aspects of manufacturing engineering and management and will be of interest to all those involved in this rapidly advancing sphere of mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Topics covered include Machining Processes and Tooling Forming Processes and Tools Advanced Manufacturing Techniques Advanced Manufacturing Systems Design Methods, Processes, and Systems CAD/CAM Testing/Experimentation/Metrology Internet and E-design/Manufacture Virtual Enterprise and Enterprise Integration
Abstract: "We present several simple, practical, and fast algorithms for linear programs, concentrating on network flow problems. Since the late 1980s, researchers developed different combinatorial approximation algorithms for fractional packing problems, obtaining the fastest theoretical running times to solve multicommodity minimum-cost and concurrent flow problems. A direct implementation of these multicommodity flow algorithms was several orders of magnitude slower than solving these problems using a commercial linear programming solver. Through experimentation, we determined which theoretically equivalent constructs are experimentally efficient. Guided by theory, we designed and impleme...
