The emergence of high performance computers and sophisticated software technology has led to significant advances in the development and application of operations research. In turn, the growing complexity of operations research models has posed an increasing challenge to computational methodology and computer technology. This volume focuses on recent advances in the fields of computer science and operations research, on the impact of technological innovation on these disciplines, and on the close interaction between them. The papers cover many relevant topics: computational probability; design and analysis of algorithms; graphics, heuristic search and learning; knowledge-based systems; large-scale optimization; logic modelling and computation; modelling languages; parallel computation; simulation; and telecommunications.
