Abstract

I identify several important current variants on the theme of combinatorial optimization that constitute significant departures from the field's research tradition: Multicriterion optimization, competitive equilibria, and optimizing with incentives. I also discuss the surprisingly weak connections between optimization and evolution (this latter topic was the subject of my ISCO talk).
