[DMANET] Just-in-time systems book by Springer

I am happy to announce that the book "Just-in-time systems" has
recently been published by Springer.
http://www.springer.com/mathematics/applications/book/978-1-4614-1122-2

Summary:
Whether different types of costs are to be reduced, benefits to be
maximized or scarce resources to be managed, scheduling theory
provides intelligent methods for practitioners and scientists. The
just-in-time (JIT) production philosophy has enriched the classical
scheduling theory with models that consider characteristics such as
inventory costs, set-up times, lot sizing, or maintenance.
This edited volume considers the specifics of just-in-time systems. It
provides knowledge and insights on recent advances in scheduling
theory where just-in-time aspects are considered. Contributions on
models, theory, algorithms, and applications, that bring the theory
up-to-date on the state-of-the-art of JIT systems are presented.
