Eleven surveys in operations research: II

This volume of Annals of Operations Research collects all eleven survey papers that appeared in volumes 4–6 (2006–2008) of 4OR. This is the second volume of this type after Bouyssou et al. (2007a). The wide range of topics covered, the depth of each coverage, the timeliness of each of the topics, and the prestigious authors who contributed to them, have prompted the editors of this upcoming journal to make them more widely available through this channel. The authors of these survey papers were given the opportunity to revise their texts, updating them to include the most recent relevant material. The editors hereby very warmly thank them all for their initial contribution and their willingness to update it on short notice.
