Handbook of Metaheuristics
This book provides both the research and practitioner communities with a comprehensive coverage of the metaheuristic methodologies that have proven to be successful in a wide variety of real-world problem settings. Moreover, it is these metaheuristic strategies that hold particular promise for success in the future. The various chapters serve as stand alone presentations giving both the necessary background underpinnings as well as practical guides for implementation.
From Planning to the Automation of Management and Results Indicators
The correct implementation of a strategy is one aspect that today's organizations demand in order to maintain positive impacts in all key areas and phases of the management cycle. Even if the plan contains a number of good intentions, but some of them are not made known to demonstrate compliance, we will have less evidence for what we sought to change. Traditionally, planning is regarded as being responsible for the budget, tax, accounting, and financial issues. With regards to results, however, poor quality external environment and user satisfaction remain a gap that organizations are not accustomed to closing. In the public sector, the deficiencies are greater because of problems in the ju...

Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling IV
Thisvolumecontainsaselectionofpapersfromthe4thInternationalConference on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling (PATAT 2002) held in Gent, August 21–23, 2002. Since the ?rst conference in Edinburgh in 1995, the range of timetabling applications at the conferences has become broader and more diverse. In the s- ected papers volume from the 1995 conference, there were just two contributions (out of 22) which did not speci?cally address school and university timetabling. In the selected papers volume from the 1997 conference in Toronto, the number of papers which tackled non-educational problems increased. Two of the papers addressed more than one timetabling application. In both of ...
Multidisciplinary Scheduling: Theory and Applications
The scheduling research field has been active and expanding for over forty years. In that time, the field has attracted a wealth of international interest from a variety of academic disciplines. This field has been a truly inter-disciplinary research area, with significant scientific advances have come from the disciplines of Information Technology and Computer Science, Mathematics and Operations Research, Manufacturing, Management, Business, Engineering, Psychology and Statistics. Nevertheless, after forty years of research, scheduling and IT systems have only scratched the surface of the benefits that can be realized from this field. MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCHEDULING: Theory and Applications is...

The Bigfoot Files
Does a giant hairy apelike creature roam the forests and swamps of North America? If so, this huge creature has managed to keep pretty well hidden, but is seen from time to time. Bigfoot is seen lurking in the shadows of strip malls in the Pacific Northwest and photographed walking across a stream or hiding behind a tree. He is watching hikers as they move through the forest and occasionally kidnaps children or murders solitary people who are in the woods. Childress gives us the latest bigfoot sightings and photos and looks at how the hairy giant has crept into the American psyche as time goes on. Childress starts at the beginning, telling the story behind an apparent bigfoot photo from the 1800s, and the tale of how the creature got its name in the 1950s. Bigfoot is present throughout the country, and Childress relates stories of sightings Back East, in the American Southwest, California and Pacific Northwest. He discusses bigfoot that make lots of noise, and presents photos throughout, including a special eight-page color photo section.
Managing Your Indicators System: A Key for Managers and Planners
Organizations implement an indicators system to manage several types of resources and reduce dysfunctions through better decision-making. However, many have lost sight of how to manage indicators and information systems in a way that strengthens the capacity to react at strategic and operational levels. From the planning perspective, managers agree what needs to be done in the short, medium and long term and these are expressed in a plan encompassing the organization´s aspirations over various time horizons. A measurement plan is often missing, however, especially in the form of a document that specifies each indicator and governs each user´s behavior when using performance indicators, as well as the metrics that allow us to learns whether the measurement project is having the desired impact on the organizational environment over time. “Managing Your Indicators System: A Key for Managers and Planners” intends to fill a void in how to manage your organization´s indicators system, thus having a positive effect on the performance of managers and planners.
