Description
In the last few decades operations research has made dramatic progress in providing
efficient algorithms and fast software implementations to solve practical problems
related to a wide range of disciplines, from logistics to finance, from political
sciences to digital image analysis. After a brief introduction to the most used
techniques, such as linear and mixed-integer programming, I will show how some of
these algorithms could find interesting applications in high energy physics, where
they could provide alternative solutions to problems related to pattern recognition,
track fitting, detector design, detector calibration or detector alignment.
