Enrico Bortoletto, Niels Lindner and Berenike Masing (ZIB MobilityLab) have received the Best Paper Award at ATMOS 2022. Their contribution “Tropical Neighbourhood Search: A New Heuristic for Periodic Timetabling” introduces a novel algorithm for optimizing periodic timetables in public transport using the techniques of tropical geometry. ATMOS 2022, the 22nd Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems, is an international forum for researchers in the area of algorithms and optimization methods to facilitate planning and operational management...Read More
The German Operations Research Society (GOR) awards an annual prize for outstanding dissertations in the field of Operations Research. One of the 2022 awardees is Daniel Rehfeldt for his thesis on “Faster algorithms for Steiner tree and related problems: From theory to practice.” The prize was awarded this year at the general meeting of the GOR at the KIT in Karlsruhe. The Steiner tree problem in graphs (SPG) is one of the most studied problems in combinatorial optimization. Many applications...Read More
The EURO Doctoral Dissertation Award (EDDA) has been awarded since 2003. It is awarded to outstanding dissertations in the field of Operations Research. This year the award goes to Daniel Rehfeldt for his thesis “Faster algorithms for Steiner tree and related problems: From theory to practice”. The prize is traditionally awarded at the Society’s annual European conference, where the four finalists present their work in a special session, this year in Espoo, Finland. The Steiner tree problem in graphs (SPG)...Read More
