Department of Industrial Engineering & Decision Analytics [Joint ED/ISOM] seminar - FIFTY YEARS OF SCHEDULING RESEARCH: Theory and Applications
Supporting the below United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:支持以下聯合國可持續發展目標：支持以下联合国可持续发展目标：
We present an overview of the history of scheduling research focusing on all of its theoretical aspects: offline deterministic scheduling (the basic models as well as more elaborate models), online scheduling models, stochastic scheduling, as well as the more recent research directions that include machine learning, reinforcement learning, fairness in scheduling, etc. We discuss important scheduling applications in various industries, including scheduling in manufacturing (e.g., steelmaking, semiconductors), scheduling in the service industries (e.g., health care), and scheduling in information systems (e.g., cloud computing).

Michael Pinedo is the Julius Schlesinger Professor of Operations Management at New York University's Stern School of Business. He received an Ir. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Delft University of Technology in 1973 and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from the University of California at Berkeley in 1978.
His research focuses on the modeling of production and service systems, and in particular planning and scheduling systems. He is author of Scheduling: Theory, Algorithms and Systems (Springer), and Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Services (Springer), and coauthor of Queueing Networks: Customers, Signals and Product Form Solutions (Wiley). Recently, his research has also focused on operational risk in financial services. He is co-editor of Creating Value in Financial Services: Strategies, Operations, and Technologies (Kluwer), and co-editor of Global Asset Management – Strategies, Risks, Processes and Technologies (Palgrave/McMillan). Professor Pinedo has been actively involved in industrial systems development. He supervised the development and implementation of several scheduling systems for International Paper and participated in the development of systems at Goldman Sachs, Philips, Siemens, and Merck. Professor Pinedo is Department Editor of Naval Research Logistics, Department Editor of Production and Operations Management and Associate Editor of Annals of Operations Research.
