Explores theoretical aspects of integer programming. This book presents an application of integer programming that involves the capture, storage, and transmission of large quantities of data collected during testing scenarios involving military applications related to vehicles, medicine, equipment, missiles, and aircraft.
Integer Programming: Theory and Practice contains invited, refereed articles that explore both theoretical aspects of integer programming as well as applications. The authors purposefully include applications and theory that are usually not found in contributed books in order to appeal to a wide variety of researchers and practitioners. Following the initial theoretical chapters, the book explores applications including the rescheduling of flights following airport closure, the determination of an optimal mix of vessels in product transport, the capture, storage and transmission of data captured during military testing, and the determination of the product mix that maximizes a retailer's profitability.
