Management decision making

'Optimization Day' (OD) has been a series of annual mini-conferences in Aus- tralia since 1994.

The 1980s and 1990s have seen a growing interest in research and practice in the use of methodologies within problem contexts characterised by a primary focus on technology, human issues, or power.

This volume contains the edited texts of the lectures presented at the Workshop on High Performance Algorithms and Software for Nonlinear Optimization held in Erice, Sicily, at the "e;G.

The Scope of This Book Popular culture often refers to current times as the Information Age, classifying many of the technological, economic, and social changes of the past four deca:les under the rubric of the Information Revolution.

In a stochastic network, such as those in computer/telecommunications and manufacturing, discrete units move among a network of stations where they are processed or served.

Environmental decision making is, like politics, mostly local.

Manufacturing industries are devoted to producing high-quality products in the most economical and timely manner.

Many important molecular conformation problems, such as protein folding, are expressed as global minimization problems.

This book deals with optimality conditions, algorithms, and discretization tech- niques for nonlinear programming, semi-infinite optimization, and optimal con- trol problems.

The goal of this book is to present basic optimization theory and modern computational algorithms in a concise manner.
