Optimization Theory, Decision Making, and Operations Research Applications

These proceedings consist of 30 selected research papers based on results presented at the 10th Balkan Conference & 1st International Symposium on Operational Research (BALCOR 2011) held in Thessaloniki, Greece, September 22-24, 2011. BALCOR is an established biennial conference attended by a large number of faculty, researchers and students from the Balkan countries but also from other European and Mediterranean countries as well. Over the past decade, the BALCOR conference has facilitated the exchange of scientific and technical information on the subject of Operations Research and related fields such as Mathematical Programming, Game Theory, Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis, Information Systems, Data Mining and more, in order to promote international scientific cooperation. The carefully selected and refereed papers present important recent developments and modern applications and will serve as excellent reference for students, researchers and practitioners in these disciplines.

Presents new models and new solutions to problems of practical interest such as business and finance optimization, e-commerce, marketing, military, telecommunications, and agricultural applications Discusses the most recent theoretical results for problems of academic interest such as statistics & stochastics, mathematical programming and modeling, and optimization software Includes articles on advanced solution methods and efficient algorithms that tackle important problem classes?
