The new edited volume, Multiple Criteria Decision Making for Sustainable Energy and Transportation Systems, is now available. The book, edited by the international group of scholars consisting of Professors Ehrgott, Naujoks, Stewart, and Wallenius, of, respectively, New Zealand, Germany, South Africa, and Finland, is a collection of papers presented at the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) for Sustainable Energy and Transportation Systems Conference that took place January 7-12, 2008, at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. 137 delegates from 39 countries on six continents took part in this wonderful conference.I had the honor of being a plenary speaker, along with Professor Jim Petrie of the University of Sydney and the University of Cape Town. My plenary talk was titled, Multicriteria Decision-Making Analysis for the Environment: Sustainability and Vulnerability of Critical Infrastructure Systems from Transportation Networks to Electric Power Supply Chains.
This edited volume is a very timely collection of MCDM models and methodologies applied to sustainable energy and transportation systems. Trisha Woolley and I contributed the paper, Environmental and Cost Synergy in Supply Chain Network Integration in Mergers and Acquisitions, to it.
We congratulate the editors and the authors as well as all the conference participants for an excellent scientific conference, coupled with glorious memories. I have included several photos that I took while at this conference in Auckland, New Zealand, which took place exactly two years ago!
