The Current state of expectations is that Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) will ulti- mately determine the industrial growth of world nations within the next few decades.

The literature on economic problems connected with measuring and modelling of welfare and inequality has grown rapidly within the last decade.

Let us start with the description of the purpose of this book.

A social dilemma is a game which at first glance has only inefficient solutions.

Software Engineering Economics is a relatively new discipline that deals with all segments of the software life cycle.

This proceedings volume contains selected and refereed contributions that were presented at the conference on "e;Recent Developments and New Perspectives of Operations Research in the Area of Production Planning and Control"e; in Hagen/Germany, 25.

This volume presents a selection of the presentations from the first annual conference on Analytical Methods in Software Engineering Economics held at The MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia.

Basically five problems areas are addressed by operationsresearch specialists in the manufacturing domain: theore-tical and practical aspectsin production planning, facilitylayout, inventory control, tool management and scheduling.

It is not an exaggeration to state that most problems dealt with in economic theory can be formulated as problems in optimization theory.

This book is mainly focused on the development of tools for decision-makers in finance, ranging from treasurers of firms to professional investors and bank managers.

This monograph deals with various classes of deterministic and stochastic continuous time optimal control problems that are defined over unbounded time intervals.

The primary aim of this monograph is to provide a formal framework for the representation and management of uncertainty and vagueness in the field of artificial intelligence.

In science, industry, public administration and documentation centers large amounts of data and information are collected which must be analyzed, ordered, visualized, classified and stored efficiently in order to be useful for practical applications.

Aggregation is the conjunction of information, aimed at its compact represen- tation.

In recent years, increases in the amount and changes in the distribution of air traffic have been very dramatic and are continuing.

Multiple Criteria Decision Aid is a field which has seen important developments in the last few years.

In this book, the author adopts a state space approach to time series modeling to provide a new, computer-oriented method for building models for vector-valued time series.
