P RINCIPIA C YBERNETICA ... EB Parent Node(s): Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems OPERATIONS RESEARCH Operations research (operational research in Britain) as understood today is essentially identical to systems analysis. Historically, it was a narrower area of activity that stressed quantitative methods and did not concern itself with TRADEOFFS between objectives and means or with problems of equity. It was defined by the Operational Research Society of Great Britain as follows (OPERATIONAL RESEARCH QUARTERLY, l3(3): 282, l962): Operational research is the attack of modern science on complex problems arising in the direction and management of large systems of men, machine s, materials and money in industry, business, government and defense. Its distinctive approach is to develop a scientific model of the system, incorporating measurements of factors such as change and risk , with which to predict and compare the outcomes of alternative decisions, strategies or controls. The purpose is to help management determine its policy and actions scientifically. (IIASA) (in Great Britain OPERATIONAL RESEARCH). Originally, the use of quantitative techniques in the domain of

Read more: Clear has decided to crystallize our ongoing efforts to help travelers speed through airport security with a $500,000 “Clear Prize” – which will be awarded to the first team that can deploy security lane technology to speed throughput at Clear airports. For more information, please go to www.flyclear.com/innovation The announcement asks for a new technology, but I imagine using OR would be welcome as well (to win, you'll probably need to take a break from your The Netflix Prize algorithm). The rules will be announced at the launch event is on February 13, 2008 at the San Francisco International Airport (free lunch if you can make it). But if you don't have that kind of free time on your hands, I'm sure you can google the rules online after the launch event.

Fair Isaac is an anaytical application company, known best for their credit rating systems (they do the FICO scores that companies use to determine whether to extend credit). This is an interesting move. On one hand, we have a premier OR company being acquired by a company that is not particularly known in the OR world (despite their analytical focus). Will Xpress-MP be forgotten, particularly as the credit market is troubled? Will Xpress-MP continue to be a available and supported for the broader world? On the other hand, a very well-known company now has operations research software as a key aspect of their offerings. Will they be able to leverage this to extend the reach of OR to more firms? One nice line of their press release We will showcase the Dash products and introduce our clients to these capabilities at the forthcoming InterACT conferences in Vienna and San Francisco. With Dash part of Fair Isaac, we can do more to:

Search Site Algebra Applied Mathematics Calculus and Analysis ... Pinter Operations Research Operations research is a vast branch of mathematics which encompasses many diverse areas of minimization and optimization. Thousands of books have been written worldwide on the subject of operations research. The central objective of operations research is optimization , i.e., "to do things best under the given circumstances." This general concept has great many applications, for instance, in agricultural planning, biotechnology, data analysis, distribution of goods and resources, emergency and rescue operations, engineering systems design, environmental management, financial planning, health care management, inventory control, manpower and resource allocation, manufacturing of goods, military operations, production process control, risk management, sequencing and scheduling of tasks, telecommunications, and traffic control. Closely related disciplines (with significant overlaps among these) include decision analysis, systems analysis, management science, control theory game theory optimization theory , constraint logic programming, artificial intelligence, fuzzy decision-making, multi-criteria analysis, and so on. All these disciplines share the objective of improving a quantitative decision making procedure. The same comment applies to operations research-related business applications such as supply-chain management, enterprise resource planning, total quality management, just-in-time production and inventory management, and materials requirements planning.
