Optimization in the Real World - Toward Solving Real-World Optimization Problems

This book clearly shows the importance, usefulness, and powerfulness of current optimization technologies, in particular, mixed-integer programming and its remarkable applications. It is intended to be the definitive study of state-of-the-art optimization technologies for students, academic researchers, and non-professionals in industry. The chapters of this book are based on a collection of selected and extended papers from the "IMI Workshop on Optimization in the Real World" held in October 2014 in Japan.
