Mathematical and Computational Models developed are innovative outcomes of interdisciplinary research in the field of Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics. Modelling is an important aspect of scientific research. Physicists, engineers, computer scientists and economists use Mathematical Models most extensively. This volume presents state-of-the-art discussions on solutions to various problems spanning the disciplines of Queueing Models, Inventory Models, Fuzzy Model, Optimization Techniques, Manpower systems, Graph Theory and Applications, Theoretical Computer Science, Computational Intelligence and General Mathematical Modeling.
