The Journal of the Opertaional Research Society (JORS) is one of the most respected journals in Operational Research. They editors recently picked the ten most inflential articles, as a reprsentative sample of the quality of the articles that they publish. In their remarks they say:

“Tom Archibald and Jonathan Crook, the Editors of the Journal of the Operational Research Society (JORS) have selected this set of 10 influential articles as a representative sample of the best of the journal’s content. These papers, listed in chronological order, are available free to read and download.”

It is good to see that three of the top ten articles have representation for Computer Science. The articles are:

2. Huanlai Xing, Rong Qu, Graham Kendall, Ruibin Bai A path-oriented encoding evolutionary algorithm for network coding resource minimization, Journal of the Operational Research Society, In Press (DOI)
