The INFORMS Tutorials in O.R. Series
Paul Gray, Series Editor
Michael P. Johnson, Bryan Norman, and Nicola Secomandi,
Tutorials Co-Chairs and Volume Editors

Tutorials in Operations Research is a publication in a collection of tutorials designed for students, faculty, and practitioners. The Tutorials in Operations Research series provides in-depth instruction in significant specialties in operations research and the management sciences.

To help practitioners and researchers keep pace with the speed of progress in OR/MS, TutORials 2006 presents a compilation of chapters based on tutorial presentations given at the 2006 INFORMS annual meeting. This book is designed to cover current trends in applications, methodologies, and theories of OR/MS, and contains contributions from some of the preeminent leaders in the field.

Specific application topics include production and inventory systems, supply chain network design, and strategic interactions between supply chain participants.  Methodological topics include linear programming, semidefinite and second-order cone programming, approximate dynamic programming, and math programming under risk and uncertainty. Additionally, a chapter is devoted to spreadsheet modeling and analysis that promotes innovative use of advanced spreadsheet features to facilitate research and practice.

TutORials 2006 is available in the following formats:

  • Printed book - $45
  • CD - $45
  • Both printed book and CD - $75
