Prof. Frank Werner. He primarily focuses on research into exact and
approximate solutions for various scheduling problems. Since 1980, he
has been using genetic algorithms to address pipeline scheduling issues.
Additionally, his work encompasses complexity problems, scheduling
under uncertainty, train scheduling, and various graph theory problems.
He has participated in multiple research projects funded by the German
Research Foundation (DFG), the European Community (INTAS), and the
Belarusian Foundation for Fundamental Research. Since 2019, he has
served as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Algorithms. He is also an
Associate Editor of the International Journal of Production Research,
the Journal of Scheduling, and Operations Research and Decision Making.
He is also a member of the editorial/advisory boards of 14 other
journals. He has served as a guest editor for special issues of seven
international journals and has participated in the program committees of
over 100 international conferences. He is the author of two mathematics
textbooks, the author/editor of eight other books, and the author of
approximately 300 published journal articles.
