Art Quote by George Dantzig
“. . . it is interesting to note that the original problem that started my research is still outstanding - namely the problem of planning or scheduling dynamically over time, particularly planning dynamically under uncertainty. If such a problem could be successfully solved it could eventually through better planning contribute to the well-being and stability of the world.”
About This Quote
Source Speech: Interview on Operations Research, 1970s
The core challenge is creating adaptive schedules that handle uncertainty over time, aiming to improve global stability through better planning.
In simple terms: Adaptive scheduling under uncertainty can improve world stability.
