In recent years researchers have spent much effort in developing efficient heuristic algorithms for solving the class of NP-complete problems which are widely believed to be inherently intractable from the computational point of view.
Project planning, scheduling, and control are regularly used in business and the service sector of an economy to accomplish outcomes with limited resources under critical time constraints.
Die hervorragende Aufnahme, die dieses inzwischen als Standardwerk etablierte Buch insbesondere in der Praxis gefunden hat zeigt, daß es dem Autor gelungen ist, einen umfassenden Überblick über die neuesten Entwicklungen im Produktionssektor zu geben.
Searching is an important process in most AI systems, especially in those AI production systems consisting of a global database, a set of production rules, and a control system.
I have been pleased with the favourable reception of the first edition of this book and I am grateful to have the opportunity to prepare this second edition.

A volume of this nature containing a collection of papers has been brought out to honour a gentleman - a friend and a colleague - whose work has, to a large extent, advanced and popularized the use of stochastic point processes.
In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc.

This volume contains a refereed selection of revised papers which were originally presented at the Second International Conference on Econometric Decision Models, University of Hagen (FernUni- versitat).
In production systems there are often capacity oriented performance objectives, like a desired total throughput, a desired average throughput time and average work- in-process.
Bei der Entwicklung komplexer Automatisierungssysteme sind immer umfangreichere Aufgaben von einer steigenden Anzahl miteinander kommunizierender Rechner zu lösen.
The fields of integer programming and combinatorial optimization continue to be areas of great vitality, with an ever increasing number of publications and journals appearing.
This thesis deals with timing and sizing decisions for production lots, and more precisely, with mathematical models to support optimal tim- ing and sizing decisions.
Management science is a di scipl ine dedicated to the development of techniques that enable decision makers to cope with the increasing complexity of our world.
This volume contains selected papers presented at the "e;International Workshop on Computationally Intensive Methods in Simulation and Op- th th timization"e; held from 23 to 25 August 1990 at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (nASA) in La~enburg, Austria.
