There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Over the past two decades, airlines have entered into partnerships
allowing them to market other airlines' flights as their own. This process,
known as "codesharing," allows partnering airlines to increase revenues by
expanding their networks. Decisions regarding codeshare flight selection
are subject to multiple regulatory, legal, and contractual issues. This
talk will focus on the development of models and solution methods to
automate the codeshare decision process at Delta Air Lines. The intent is
to provide an example of a real-world application of operations research
tools and techniques and to discuss how concepts learned in the classroom
lead to real results in a business setting.
