SPECIAL SECTION "BERLIN IM UMBRUCH: GESTALTUNG DES WANDELS"
===========================================================
Germany has experienced dramatic political, economical, and social
changes in the past five years. This, in particular, applies to its
capital: Berlin. Decision and planning problems of unprecedented type,
complexity and difficulty have arisen. Moreover, decisions and plans of
significant impact have had to be made within extremely tight time
limits. This process has - to a large extent - been based on
conventional decision and planning mechanisms and not on mathematical
models and methods.
Time is now ripe for reviewing what has happened and discussing the
difficult tasks that still lie ahead. A highlight of the symposium will
be the lectures of four distinguished "players" in this process who
will provide their views of the topic
Berlin im Umbruch: Gestaltung des Wandels.
The presentations will be made from the points of view of a decision
maker, a political planner, an industrial manager and a scientific
observer. Although many important decisions have already been made,
there seem to be ample opportunities for mathematical planning tools
and other OR-related techniques to help improve the planning and to
support further decisions. The organizers are sure that the following
four speakers and their talks will stimulate a discussion of this
perspective. (These lectures will be given in German.)
Der politische Planer:
Senator Dr. Volker Hassemer,
"Stadtplanung als vorausgedachte Zukunft"
Dr. Hassemer ist Senator fuer Stadtentwicklung und Umweltschutz von
Berlin. Er ist in dieser Position zustaendig fuer die vielen plane-
rischen Aufgaben, die durch die Wiedervereinigung und den Umzug der
Regierung nach Berlin entstehen. Sein Vortrag beschaeftigt sich mit den
bisher erreichten Ergebnissen der Berliner Stadtplanung seit dem Fall
der Mauer. Er wird ueber den Stand seiner Arbeit berichten: Die Resul-
tate der staedtebaulichen Wettbewerbe, den Stand des neuen Flaechen-
nutzungsplans, die planerischen Vorbereitungen fuer den Umzug des
Deutschen Bundestages und der Ministerien nach Berlin. Und er wird
ueber die Methoden sprechen, mit denen Berlin jetzt seine stadtent-
wicklungspolitischen Aufgaben angeht.
Der industrielle Macher:
Dr. Lothar Spaeth, "Industrieller Strukturwandel in den
neuen Laendern. Das Beispiel des Zeiss-Kombinates in Jena"
Dr. Spaeth erwarb sich als Ministerpraesident in Baden-Wuerttemberg
einen Namen als politischer Visionaer und wirtschaftlicher Impulsgeber.
Seit 1991 ist er Geschaeftsfuehrungsvorsitzender der JENOPTIK GmbH in
Jena und in dieser Funktion fuer die Sanierung des ehemaligen Zeiss-
Kombinates verantwortlich. Hierfuer entwickelte Dr. Spaeth ein neu-
artiges Konzept, das durch die Aufspaltung des industriellen Molochs
"VEB Carl Zeiss Jena" die gesamte Region in einen dynamischen Prozess
des industriellen Strukturwandels einbezieht und den Aufbau einer
"Technologieregion Jena" zum Ziel hat.
Der wissenschaftliche Beobachter:
Dr. Manfred Wegner,
"Die DDR im wirtschaftlichen Rueckblick"
Dr. Wegner ist der Gruendungspraesident des neu errichteten Instituts
fuer Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH), dessen Aufgabe darin besteht,
die Umwandlung Ostdeutschlands auf dem Weg zu einer wettbewerbsfaehigen
offenen Wirtschaft wissenschaftlich zu begleiten. Sein Vortrag be-
schaeftigt sich vor allem mit den Fragen: "Wie hat sich die DDR-Wirt-
schaft in 40 Jahren entwickelt? Welches waren ihre wichtigsten Entwick-
lungstrends und Schwaechen? Warum wurde sie im Westen ueberschaetzt und
was kann die allgemeine Fehleinschaetzung erklaeren?" Es wird darum
gehen, die Ausgangslage und Schwierigkeiten zu beschreiben, von der aus
die ostdeutsche Wirtschaft im Jahre 1989 in die Marktwirtschaft einge-
treten ist.
Der Entscheidungstraeger:
Dr. Klaus-Peter Wild,
"Von der Planwirtschaft zur Marktwirtschaft:
Umstrukturierung in Ostdeutschland"
Dr. Wild ist Mitglied des Vorstands der Treuhandanstalt, der im Jahre
1990 der gesetzliche Auftrag zur Privatisierung und Sanierung der ehe-
mals volkseigenen Unternehmen der frueheren DDR uebertragen wurde. Nach
knapp 13.000 Privatisierungen von Unternehmen und Unternehmensteilen
hat die ehemals groesste Staatsholding der Welt ihre operative Aufgabe
Ende 1993 weitestgehend abgeschlossen. Dr. Wild zeichnet neben der Pri-
vatisierung der Kuestenindustrie fuer die Bereiche Fahrzeugbau, Optik/
Feinmechanik, Verkehr sowie die Abwicklung und die Niederlassung ver-
antwortlich. Er wird ueber seine Erfahrungen, die Erfolge, aber auch
die Fehler der Treuhandanstalt im Umstrukturierungsprozess in den neuen
Laendern berichten.
Die oben aufgefuehrten vier Vortraege werden durch eine Podiumsdiskus-
sion zur Verkehrs- und Transportplanung ergaenzt.

PROCEEDINGS VOLUME
==================
SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS
---------------------------
DGOR and GMOEOR have a contract with the Springer-Verlag
to publish a proceedings volume with contributed papers shortly
after the conference. All speakers are invited to submit a
contribution of approximately 5, not more than 6 pages
containing main results and literature references at their earliest
convenience, but not later than August 12, 1994. Please
send your contribution to the Editor
Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrich Derigs
"OR-Proceedings 1994"
Lehrstuhl fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik
Universitaet zu Koeln
Pohligstrasse 1
D-50969 Koeln
e-mail: derigs@informatik.uni-koeln.de
When preparing the contribution please follow the enclosed
"Directions for Preparation of Camera-Ready Manuscripts"
(see appendix). Note that manuscripts which do not follow these
directions cannot be accepted for publication and will be rejected
on a formal basis. All submissions will be evaluated by the editorial
board after the conference. Due to the strict page limit for
the volume only a selected number of manuscripts out of each
section can be published in the proceedings.
Every registered participant is entitled to one free copy of the
proceedings volume. These will be mailed shortly after the
conference.
FUTURE PROCEEDINGS VOLUMES
--------------------------
There is discussion within the OR-societies about the future of
the proceedings volumes. The registration form therefore con-
tains a question whether you would prefer future conferences
without proceedings and about DM 50 cheaper, or whether
the tradition of publishing proceedings after the conference
should be continued. Please give us your opinion on this.
FURTHER INFORMATION
====================

% ABSTRACT BEGIN:
% We investigate a class of graph partitioning problems
% whose two extreme representatives are the well-known Min Cut and
% Graph Bisection problems. The former is known to be efficiently
% solvable by flow techniques, the latter to be ${\cal NP}$-complete.
% The results presented in this paper are
% \begin{itemize}
% \item a monotony result of the type ``The more balanced the
% partition we look for has to be, the harder the problem".
% \item a complexity result clarifying the status of a large part of
% intermediate problems in the class.
% \end{itemize}
% Thus we show the existence and partly localize an ``efficiency
% border" between the two extremes.

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF CAMERA-READY MANUSCRIPTS
------------------------------------------------------
FOR THE PROCEEDINGS VOLUME
--------------------------
Authors of the Operations Research Proceedings are asked to prepare
their contribution exactly according to the attached example.
Manuscripts which are submitted in technically unsuitable form cannot
be accepted for publication. Hence it is crucial that the following
instructions be adhered to closely.
Typing area
The correct typing area is 18 x 26 1/2 cm (7,5 x 11 inches).
Make sure that the typing area is right margin typed on one side
of the paper only.
Type
Choose a type size large enough to stand reduction to 75 %.
Spacing and Headings
Use one-and-a-half line spacing in the text. Leave sufficient space
for the title to stand out clearly. The first page of each
contribution should be prepared according to the attached example
giving the title and the name(s) of the author(s). Please leave three
lines blank below heading and address of the author. Then start the
actual text of your contribution. The complete address of the
author(s) will be given in the index separately.
Footnotes should be avoided.
Symbols
Anything which cannot be typed may be entered by hand in black and only
black ink. Do not draw straight lines by hand without a ruler
(not even in fractions). However, always type as much as possible.
If you are using an IBM type-writer, use the "Symbol" typing element.
Emphasis
Words to be emphasized can either be underlined or typed in italics.
Literature and References.
These should be placed at the end of each paper. Type them with single
line spacing and start each reference on a new line. Follow
"Zentralblatt f^Ar Mathematik" for titles of mathematical journals and
"Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors (BGEA)" for chemical,
biological, and physics journals. Please ensure that all references
are complete and precise.
Figures
Mark spaces in the text to fit any figures to be inserted and add two
lines of spacing above and below them. Type legends to figures with
single line spacing and place them on the page below the figures.
Leave 1 - 3 blank lines before continuing the running text. Use for
the figures either original line drawings or positive copies
(line-thickness: 0.25mm). Check that lines and points on copies are
uniformly black. Paste them into the spaces left for this purpose.
(When positive copies are used, we would appreciate your sending us
the originals, if available, enclosed in a separate envelope).
Letters or numerals ON figures should be about 3 mm high, but in any
case no smaller than the characters of the typewriter.
Pagination
Contributing authors are asked to number their contributions on the back.
The editor of the volume will do the pagination of the whole manuscript !
Corrections
When corrections have to be made, cut the new text to fit
and paste it over the old. White correction fluid may also be used.
Never make corrections or insertions in the text by hand.
Equations and Computer Programs
Equations and computer programs should begin four spaces
inside the left margin. Should the equations be numbered, then each number
should be in brackets at the right-hand edge of the typing area.
WORD PROCESSORS
Authors using word-processing or computer-typesetting facilities
should follow the above instructions for typed manuscripts
with obvious modifications. Please note with respect to your printout that
i) the characters should be sharp and sufficiently black;
ii) if the size of your characters is significantly larger or smaller
than normal typescript characters, you should adapt the length and
breadth of the text area proportionally keeping the proportions 1:0.68.
Packing
To avoid damage in the mail, please pack the manuscript in cardboard
and use sturdy, waterproof packaging material.
