When operations research meets databases | Vincent T'kindt | ADBIS 2023 Tutorial

In this tutorial we focus on the interplay between operations research and database theory, i.e. on how the optimization tools from operations research can contribute to the solution of optimization problems occurring in database. Operations research is a field dealing with the solution of optimization and decision problems mathematically well formulated. The objective of this tutorial is to provide researchers in database theory with the basics of operations research, in order to enable them next to improve their own researches. 🎤 ABOUT THE SPEAKER Vincent T'kindt is full professor at the University of Tours. His research relates to the field of operations research and more specifically to scheduling theory to which he heavily contributed over the years. He pioneered the development of multicriteria scheduling, on which subject he published a reference book, and the development of moderate exponential-time algorithms for scheduling problems. He also contributes to researches on the interplay of operations research with other fields like machine learning, pattern recognition and database theory. He is the coauthor of four books, more than 50 publications in leading international journals and more than 200 communications in conferences. He served as editor of international journals in operations research and is member of the advisory board of the European working group on project management and scheduling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADBIS 2023: https://www.essi.upc.edu/dtim/ADBIS2023/index.html
