Graphentheoretische Methoden des Operations Research
Graphentheorie ist eine Disziplin der Mathematik, die sehr weit zuruckreicht und in den letzten dreiliig Jahren eine enorme Entwicklung und Verbreitung erfahren hat. Die Er- kenntnisse der Graphentheorie werden heute in den meisten Zweigen der Wissenschaft mit viel Erfolg eingesetzt. Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht verwunderlich, daB graphen- theoretische Aussagen, Modelle und Verfahren auch innerhalb des Operations Research eine wichtige Stellung einnehmen. Dabei sind es von der Anwendung in der Praxis her gesehen vor allem zwei Problemtypen, die im Vordergrund stehen: a) Distanzenpro- bleme, b) Flul.)probleme. Sieht man von einigen im Operations Research weniger wichtigen graphentheoretischen Gebieten ab, wie z. B. Farbungen, Oberdeckungen etc., die in diesem Buch weggelassen werden mul.)ten, so befassen sich die graphentheoretischen Verfahren fast ausschliel- lich mit Problemen des Typs a) oder b). Durch unterschiedliche Interpretationen der Graphen, durch Erweiterung und Verallgemeinerungen der Problemstellungen und Ver- fahren lassen sich mit diesen Methoden eine ganze Hille praktisch relevanter Aufgaben losen. Unter diesen konnte hier natiirlich nur eine Auswahl behandelt werden. Graphen bestehen aus Knoten und Kanten, wobei jede Kante zwei Knoten verbindet.

Scheduling Variable Capacity Resources for Sustainability
This book is the first to provide an overview of variable capacity scheduling and how it helps balance the growth of computing with its growing environmental impact by creating more resilient and efficient systems that adapt to the dynamic nature of resource availability, optimizing utilization and minimizing disruptions.The book covers all aspects of variable capacity scheduling from a technical and a societal perspective. It considers the new age of renewable power generation and how computing services can contribute to sustainability and grid decarbonization. Contributors investigate techniques that can be deployed for schedulers to cope with, or even benefit from, changes in the number of computing resources and the nature of the power sources. They survey emerging computing devices, such as edge servers, as alternatives to classical cloud computing platforms; identify applications for monitoring energy and regulating power; and investigate energy minimization and risk-aware scheduling in real-time systems, asking: ‘How can a server with a variable processing speed schedule jobs with hard deadlines while minimizing its energy consumption?’ The authors address the societal impact of computing, exploring how the social sciences play a critical role in solving the computing sustainability challenge and including a holistic analysis of current and future approaches, taking the whole life-cycle and rebound effects into account.Presenting all the corresponding challenges and opportunities of variable capacity scheduling, this is an excellent introduction to the topic for students, researchers, computing scientists, or concerned citizens interested in sustainability.

Operational Research Approaches
Operational research is a collection of modelling techniques used to structure, analyse, and solve problems related to the design and operation of complex human systems. While many argue that operational research should play a key role in improving healthcare services, staff may be largely unaware of its potential applications. This Element explores operational research's wartime origins and introduce several approaches that operational researchers use to help healthcare organisations: address well-defined decision problems; account for multiple stakeholder perspectives; and describe how system performance may be impacted by changing the configuration or operation of services. The authors draw on examples that illustrate the valuable perspective that operational research brings to improvement initiatives and the challenges of implementing and scaling operational research solutions. They discuss how operational researchers are working to surmount these problems and suggest further research to help operational researchers have greater beneficial impact in healthcare improvement. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
