Gad Allon (“ The Impact of Delaying the Delay Announcements ”) is an associate professor of managerial economics and decision science at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Recently he has been studying models of information sharing among firms and customers in service and retail settings. He is also conducting empirical studies to investigate time-based competition in the fast-food industry as well as the factors contributing to emergency department overcrowding. Steve Alpern (“ Patrolling Games ” and “ Find-and-Fetch Search on a Tree ”) is a professor of mathematics at the London School of Economics. He became interested in the field of search games when studying game theory under Oskar Morgenstern, as an undergraduate at Princeton University, and later with Rufus Isaacs. After working on antagonistic versions of these games, he has more recently become interested in versions where the two searchers have the common aim of finding each other as soon as possible (rendezvous). In addition to search games, his current research interests include decentralized matching, and mathematical models in animal behavior. Roberto Baldacci (“ New Route Relaxation and Pricing Strategies for the Vehicle Routing Problem ” and “ An Exact Method for the Capacitated Location-Routing Problem ”) is a researcher in operations research at the Department of Electronics, Computer Science and Systems (DEIS) of the University of Bologna, Italy. His major research interests are in the area of transportation planning, logistics and distribution, and the solution to vehicle routing and scheduling problems over street networks. His research activities are in the theory and applications of mathematical programming. He has worked in the design of new heuristic and exact methods for solving combinatorial problems as routing and location problems. Achal Bassamboo (“ The Impact of Delaying the Delay Announcements ”) is an associate professor of managerial economics and decision science at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. His research interests lie in the areas of service systems, revenue management, and information sharing.
