The introduction of numerical methodologies to Architecture is very recent, however, the last ten years has seen the application of operations research to many of the problems of Architecture previously considered to be non-numeric. This paper reviews the panoply of these applications under the headings of simulation, optimization and design systems. Well established areas of application of simulation include building services (air-conditioning, lighting, acoustics, sunshading and shadows, thermal environment), vertical transportation in buildings, planning regulations, and to a lesser extent queuing and games. Simulation is now being used as a tool to gain insight into problem- solving in the architectural context. Mathematical programming and various heuristic optimization techniques have been used. Typical applications include layout planning, site development, house design, locating human activities, a/c duct design, materials selection and various environmental control systems. Design systems using a combination of simulation and optimization techniques are described. Clustering methods for the elucidation of system structure are mentioned. The paper concludes with comments on the problems of applying operations research techniques. An extensive list of references is included.

This book offers a comprehensive reference guide to operations research theory and applications in health care systems. It provides readers with all the necessary tools for solving health care problems. The respective chapters, written by prominent researchers, explain a wealth of both basic and advanced concepts of operations research for the management of operating rooms, intensive care units, supply chain, emergency medical service, human resources, lean health care, and procurement. To foster a better understanding, the chapters include relevant examples or case studies. Taken together, they form an excellent reference guide for researchers, lecturers and postgraduate students pursuing research on health care management problems. The book presents a dynamic snapshot on the field that is expected to stimulate new directions and stimulate new ideas and developments.

This book presents expert descriptions of the successful application of operations research in both the private and the public sector, including in logistics, transportation, product design, production planning and scheduling, and areas of social interest. Each chapter is based on fruitful collaboration between researchers and companies, and company representatives are among the co-authors. The book derives from a 2017 call by the Italian Operations Research Society (AIRO) for information from members on their activities in promoting the use of quantitative techniques, and in particular operations research techniques, in society and industry. A booklet based on this call was issued for the annual AIRO conference, but it was felt that some of the content was of such interest that it deserved wider dissemination in more detailed form. This book is the outcome. It equips practitioners with solutions to real-life decision problems, offers researchers examples of the practical application of operations research methods, and provides Master’s and PhD students with suggestions for research development in various fields.

As operations research (OR) applications continue to grow and flourish in a number of decision making fields, a reference that is comprehensive, concise, and easy to read is more than a nicety, it is a necessity. This book provides a single volume overview of OR applications in practice, making it the first resource a practitioner would reach for w

The use of operations research (OR) in natural resources management (NRM) is an evolving research field with many application areas. Decision makers in NRM are often not aware of the possibilities that OR techniques offer them to solve their daily challenges. This special issue contributes to close this gap by showing how OR can be useful in different application areas of NRM.

Traditionally, the DDSS conferences aim to be a platform for both starting and experienced researchers who focus on the development and application of computer support in urban planning and architectural design. This volume contains 31 peer reviewed papers from this year’s conference. This book will bring researchers together and is a valuable resource for their continuous joint effort to improve the design and planning of our environment.
