中国运筹学发展研究报告

运筹学是自20世纪三四十年代发展起来的一门新兴交叉学科，主要研究如何应用数学和计算的理论与方法对社会系统和工程系统做出最优或满意的决策。为了更好地推动中国运筹学及相关领域的研究和应用，学会组织国内运筹学领域的部分专家，并参考了国内外运筹学多个分支代表性人物对运筹学的起源和发展的回忆与评述，共同完成了此报告。报告概述了运筹学的主要特征和方法，简述了运筹学的发展历程，剖析了运筹学研究中的成功经验，综述了运筹学几个主要分支的发展状况，介绍了运筹学中十几个有代表性的难题，展望了运筹学未来发展的方向。希望此报告能引起读者进一步思考运筹学的本质，运筹学是如何成长和将如何发展，并在一定程度上推动中国运筹学更好地发展。

Research report on the development of operations research in China

Operations Research(OR) is an interdisciplinary subject emerged in the 1930s.It mainly studies how to make optimal or satisfactory solutions through mathematical and computational theories and methods for social and engineering systems.In order to promote the research and application of OR in China,we invite a dozen of experts in OR and related areas to complete this report making reference to the review of OR development by many top experts in representative areas in OR.In this report, we first summarize the features and methodology of OR and make a brief review on the development of OR with analysis on successful experiences in OR study.Then,we survey the status of some main directions of this discipline along with some its typical open problems.In the end of the survey we prospect for the trend of OR in the future.We hope that this report could motivate readers to reflect upon what is the essence of OR and how OR has grown up and will develop in next decades,and in such a way advance OR development in China.
