Beschreibung:
This paper contains information obtained during my lecture tour of the Far East, June 1–July 15, 1976. The tour was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, with the objective of information exchange. I visited university and industry personnel in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Phillipines, and Singapore, and lectured on a variety of operations research topics, principally optimization applications, algorithms, and software. The presentation is chronological, giving my recollections of each day's discussions at the various institutions visited. Any inaccuracies are due entirely to me. For those seeking additional information, a list of addresses of persons referred to in this paper may be found in Appendix A.
