Abstract

In 1970 I authored a paper dealing with the interface of Operations Research and Computer Science, which was presented at the 37th Meeting of ORSA on April 20-22, 1970. [NANCR70]. That paper, which included the thoughts and opinions of several eminent computer scientists, has proved to be interesting reading some eight years later. My view of the interface between the two disciplines has changed but slightly in that time; nevertheless, certain intersections of the two disciplines are now more clearly defined. Nevertheless, the belief that I have a better picture of the computer science and operations research interface is probably as illusory now as it was in 1970.
