The principal concepts of operations research (OR) are presented in this guide to the tools for the planning support and management of various types of networks, including physical networks, such as road and rail systems, and logical networks--those used in planning complex projects in which connections describe the temporal relations and vertices represent the individual activities of the process. OR analyzes real problems in two stages: the formalization of a mathematical model and the subsequent solution procedure, which is generally algorithmic. The two important categories of models--those based on algebraic formalism and those using the concepts of graphs--are presented in detail, including general solution procedures for both. Project scheduling, distribution networks, telecommunication networks, and the planning of satellite photography are additional featured application areas.Finke, Gerd is the author of 'Operational Research and Networks ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781905209941 and ISBN 1905209940.
