This interdisciplinary reference and guide provides an introduction to
modeling methodologies and models which form the starting point for
deriving efficient and effective solution techniques, and presents a
series of case studies that demonstrate how heuristic and analytical
approaches may be used to solve large and complex problems. Topics and
features: introduces the key modeling methods and tools, including
heuristic and mathematical programming-based models, and queueing
theory and simulation techniques; demonstrates the use of heuristic
methods to not only solve complex decision-making problems, but also
to derive a simpler solution technique; presents case studies on a
broad range of applications that make use of techniques from genetic
algorithms and fuzzy logic, tabu search, and queueing theory; reviews
examples incorporating system dynamics modeling, cellular automata and
agent-based simulations, and the use of big data; supplies expanded
descriptions and examples in the appendices.
