Operations Research and Cyber-Infrastructure

From the reviews: "This book is the companion volume to the INFORMS Computing Society Conference held in January 2009, and that the focus of the conference was on the interface between Operations Research and Computer Science. ... a valuable resource for graduate students looking for promising areas of research and for faculty wishing to bring themselves up to date on work in progress on the OR/CS interface. ... an excellent addition to libraries of institutions in which there are graduate students in OR, or in Computer Science." (R. Bharath, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61 (5), 2010)
