Inside O.R. May 2013

Abstract

This month’s cover features the infamous travelling salesman. This one looks as if the decisions on which route to take have become too much – if only he’d had a dish of slime with him, his problems could have been solved. We also report on a new movie based on the exact same issue, although I suspect it won’t be coming to cinema near you. In his leader article, VP John Hopes reports on a successful event in a brewery – the launch of our Analytics Network. Our next analytics event is also publicised. The bookings are already flooding in, but we’d like you to tell your colleagues and help make it bigger and better than last year.
