The OR Essentials series Series editor: Simon JE Taylor, Brunel University, UK The OR Essentials series presents a unique cross-section of high quality research work fundamental to understanding contemporary issues and research across a range of Operational Research (OR) topics. It brings together some of the best research papers from the highly respected journals off the Operational Research Society, also published by Palgrave Macmillan. OR deals with the use of advanced analytical methods to support better decision making. As a multidisciplinary field, it has strong links to management science, decision science, computer science and has practical applications in areas such as engineering, manufacturing, commerce, healthcare and defence. OR has long-standing historical roots. However, as a modern discipline its origins lie in the years immediately before World War II when mathematical techniques were developed to address urgent defence problems. Now it is commonplace and a key discipline taught in universities across the world, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. There are several international societies dedicated to the advancement of OR (e.g. the Operational Research Society and INFORMS – The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences) and there are many high quality peer-reviewed journals dedicated to the topic. The OR Essentials books are a vital reference tool for students, academics, and industry practitioners, providing easy access to top research papers on cuttingedge topics within the field of Operational Research.
