Decision Making Under Uncertainty in Electricity Markets
Springer 2010; US$ 219.99Decision Making Under Uncertainty in Electricity Markets provides models and procedures to be used by electricity market agents to make informed decisions under uncertainty. These procedures rely on well established stochastic programming models, which make them efficient and robust. Particularly, these techniques allow electricity producers to derive... more...
Stochastic Programming
Springer 2010; US$ 149.99From the Preface: "The preparation of this book started in 2004, when George B. Dantzig and I, following a long-standing invitation by Fred Hillier to contribute a volume to his "International Series in Operations Research and Management Science", decided finally to go ahead with editing a volume on stochastic programming. The field... more...
Handbook of Metaheuristics
Springer 2010; US$ 219.99The first edition of the "Handbook of Metaheuristics" was published in 2003 under the editorship of Fred Glover and Gary A. Kochenberger. Given the numerous developments observed in the field of metaheuristics in recent years, it appeared that the time was ripe for a second edition of the Handbook. When Glover and Kochenberger were unable... more...
