This book gathers selected high-quality papers presented at the 31st European Conference on Operational Research, which was held in Athens, Greece on June 11-14, 2021.It highlights the latest advances in the application of operations research (OR) to technology-driven areas in business, finance, and economics, covering both theoretical and methodological developments, as well as real-world case studies. It also explores the connections between OR and other analytical disciplines, such as soft computing and computer science, which can promote the development of new decision support technologies.

In the present economic, political, societal and environmental landscape, which is dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of challenges and issues that demand immediate and urgent responses is more intense than ever. Policymakers, international organizations, governmental and non-governmental institutions around the globe are seeking effective and sustainable policies, as they try to tackle far-reaching issues that affect all aspects of the economy and agriculture, including the food sector. In this context, this book presents new modelling approaches and their application to complex problems in the agro-food chain in order to address today's pressing food policy issues. The respective chapters showcase national and regional studies on sustainable communities, rural environments and ecosystems. Taken together, they offer a valuable reference guide for scholars and practitioners alike."e;

Further, it presents some of the most common methodologies for statistical analysis and mathematical modeling, and discusses in detail ten examples that explain and show "hands-on" how operational research can be used in key decision-making processes at enterprises in the agricultural food and environmental industries.

The book quantifies the impact of in-port ships¿ greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in adjacent cities, and evaluates the feasibility of implementing shore-side electricity facilities in Europe to reduce the unwanted social and environmental effects of ships at berth. The book also discusses the potential of future ¿green¿ ports and the use of shore side electricity as a means of achieving them. Individual chapters focus on the economic and social costs of in-port ships¿ emissions by illustrating current environmental policies to mitigate air emissions and the available abatement measures for in-port emissions. It also discusses the external cost of vessel emissions in ports as well as the impacts on air quality and human health. Examining the expected barriers to the implementation of shore- side electricity facilities, it proposes policies to accelerate the implementation of relevant mitigation measures.
