PREFACE

Intelligent knowledge management in operations research

Scientists employ sophisticated programs to mine and extract interesting information and
knowledge from enormous databases. Intelligent knowledge, extracted from large data sets,
reveals useful insights and hidden patterns. Intelligent knowledge management investigates
the theoretical framework of data science and intelligent knowledge to bridge the gap between
mining and knowledge management and further develops the techniques of how to identify
and obtain the intelligent knowledge for decision-making.
Operations research (OR) and management science (MS) have strong influences on the
development of intelligent knowledge management. Many OR methodologies and tools have
been applied to knowledge sharing, knowledge organization, knowledge acquisition, and
knowledge usage. It is important to synthesize the research findings of intelligent knowl-
edge and OR with a wide range of real-life applications to support sustainable economic
development.
This special volume includes both high-quality academic (theoretical or empirical) and
practical papers that present current state-of-the-art results from researchers and practitioners
from all related disciplines. All papers have some numerical or experimental illustrations of
scientific value.
The guest editors hope that the papers published in this special volume will be of interest
to academic and industrial communities by promoting high quality, novel and daring research
findings. The volume provides solutions and tools to solve challenging problems faced by
fellow researchers, practitioners, and students, as well as research challenges and initiatives
for further research.
