Together with Jan Karel Lenstra and Bert Zwart, I'm starting the journal Surveys in Operations Research and Management Science (it is a continuation of Handbooks in ORMS). What topics really need a survey? The area should be be reasonably narrow (not "integer programming") but broad enough that there is enough to survey. It should be topical and there should not be really recent quality surveys out there.

Solving integer programs on parallel architecture. State of the art commercial solvers for integer programming seem to be capable of running multi-threaded on multiple cores. There have been some open-source implementations as well. But there does not seem to be any good survey of the state of the art and future directions. I would also like to see what optimization algorithms (not just integer programming) have been implemented for GPUs. Right from basic graph-theory routines like shortest path, Min-cost flows etc to simplex, interior point methods and other sophisticated ones. |

Do you know whether Elsevier is going to publish the announced HB.ORMS volume on "Approximation and Heuristics"? Otherwise, this would be a good starting point (+ surveys on neighborhood structures for local search, fitness landscapes/functions for evolutionary algorithms). |

I always wanted to see a compiled article on graph theoretical approaches to OR problems. Prof. Hochbaum has a paper entitled "Selection, Provisioning, Shared Fixed Costs, Maximum Closure, and Implications on Algorithmic Methods Today". In many instances I found myself referring to it. And I know many other grad students who love that paper. It would be great if we could see similar papers in other fields. I wanted to vote this question up but it needs some more reputation points :) |
