Joe Halpern played a huge role in creating the CoRR and later integrating it with @arxiv.bsky.social. He chaired the CS section from 1998 until 2023, and he was active as a moderator until just a few weeks ago. Thank you, Joe, for promoting open science!

I'm very sad to have learned today that Joe Halpern passed away. Joe was a giant who knew no scientific boundaries. He loved science with a contagious, child-like enthusiasm. He was wonderful and I'm so grateful that I got to learn from him. Thank you Joe 🙏 www.bangsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/j...

Since the news about the untimely passing of Hani S. Mahmassani is spreading, I wrote a tribute to him on my blog: annanagurney.blogspot.com/2025/07/rest... Deepest condolences to his family, friends, students & colleagues around the globe. Hani left an incredible legacy in transportation & #orms.

Rest in Peace, Professor Hani S. Mahmassani

I received the heartbreaking news that Professor Hani S. Mahmassani, a superstar in transportation science and operations research, passed a...

do LLMs make us optimization professors obsolete, and/or the material we teach? this is a question (and consequences for teaching and learning), many of us are contemplating these days. @vanhentenryck.bsky.social and co-authors give some answers #orms

If you teach an introduction to optimization, or are a student in such a course, you may wonder how LLMs will change the class. Check this paper on Dual School, which provides some answers. @ai4opt.bsky.social @georgiatechai.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2505.21775

DualSchool: How Reliable are LLMs for Optimization Education?

Consider the following task taught in introductory optimization courses which addresses challenges articulated by the community at the intersection of (generative) AI and OR: generate the dual of a li...

If you want to know about power systems, come to listen to Patrick. He was senior scientific advisor for RTE (the french transmission operator) and he has a deep vision about how to plan and operate the grid.

For those of you interested in bus scheduling (I know that there are only a few of us ...): branch and price and large neighborhood search for dealing with the complex realities in the field. arxiv.org/abs/2505.02485

Integrating Column Generation and Large Neighborhood Search for Bus Driver Scheduling with Complex Break Constraints

The Bus Driver Scheduling Problem (BDSP) is a combinatorial optimization problem with the goal to design shifts to cover prearranged bus tours. The objective takes into account the operational cost as...

Really interested to learn how the outage in Portugal and Spain propagated so quickly. They seem to have lost 15GW quickly with generation capacity of 130GW (half of which is nuclear and gas-fueled generators). Keen to see where this started.
