In recent years game theory has had a substantial impact on computer science, especially on Internet- and e-commerce-related issues. Algorithmic Game Theory, first published in 2007, develops the central ideas and results of this exciting area in a clear and succinct manner. More than 40 of the...

Accurate forecasting of inter-urban traffic flow has been one of most important issues globally in the research on road traffic congestion. The information of inter-urban traffic with a cyclic data pattern presents a more challenging situation. This investigation presents a short-term traffic...

Care must be taken in extending the formulation and solution methodology of Federgruen and Zheng (1992) to include a stockout cost of a different dimensionality: $/unit, rather than $/unit/year. Federgruen and Zheng formulate this extended model for Poisson demand. We modify their formulation to...

This book focuses on real time management of distribution systems, integrating the latest results in system design, algorithm development and system implementation to capture the state-of-the art research and application trends. The book important topics such as goods dispatching, couriers,...

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems, this book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching. Discussion also extends to multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines....
