    • Some Recent Advances in Network Flows 

      Ahuja, Ravindra K., 1956-; Magnanti, Thomas L.; Orlin, James B., 1953- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1989-10)
      The literature on network flow problems is extensive, and over the past 40 years researchers have made continuous improvements to algorithms for solving several classes of problems. However, the surge of activity on the ...

    • Computer-Aided Dispatch System as a Decision Making Tool in Public and Private Sectors 

      Lee, I-Jen; Larson, Richard C., 1943- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1984-12)
      We describe in detail seven distinct areas in both public and private sectors in which a real-time computer-aided dispatch system is applicable to the allocation of scarce resources. Characteristics of a real-time ...

    • Stochastic Programming Models for Strategic Planning: An Application to Electric Utilities 

      Bienstock, Daniel; Shapiro, Jeremy F., 1939- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1984-05)
      This paper reports on the application of stochastic programming with recourse models to strategic planning problems typical of those faced by an electric utility. A prototype model was constructed using realistic data, and ...
