• Prof. Zhe George Zhang (Western Washington University, USA)

Biographical sketch:
Prof. George Zhang received a BSc degree in computer science and an M.A. in economics from Nankai University in China; an MBA from Schulich School of Business at York University; and a Ph.D in Operations Research from the University of Waterloo. He is a professor of Operations Research and Quantitative methods in the Department of Decision Sciences, College of Business and Economics at Western Washington University, Washington, USA. He is also an adjunct professor in Management Science at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. He is the director of the Center Operations Research and Management Science (CORMS) – recently established at Western Washington University, which promotes the research collaboration between North America (US and Canada) and the Asian Pacific region. Prof. Zhang’s research interests include queueing theory and applications, stochastic dynamic programming, probability models in reliability, and supply chain management issues in manufacturing and service organizations. His publications have appeared in many well-known journals in operations research and applied probability, and his research has been cited widely (Google Scholar). His research monograph entitled Vacation Queueing Models – Theory and Applications was published in 2006 by Springer Science, and this is the first book that discusses both single and multiple server queueing systems with vacations. His new book entitled Fundamentals of Stochastic Models will be published in 2023 by Taylor & Francis. Professor Zhang is one of Editors-in-chief of Journal of the Operational Research Society (JORS). As one of the premier operation research (OR) journals, JORS is the first OR journal in the world. He is also one of the founding Editors-in-chief of Queueing Models and Service Management (QMSM) and a Senior Editor of Production and Operations Management (POM). He was an associate editor of INFOR, and is on the editorial board of several international journals.

Speech title: Stable Marriage and Stable Roommate Problems

Abstract:

There is an old, pretty well-known and still unsolved open question about the stable marriage problem, namely asking if there is a "close" relationship between the stable marriage and the stable roommate problems. Here, close means that any stable roommate instance can be reduced to a stable marriage instance having a one-to-one mapping between their stable matchings. If such a reduction exists, a variety of stable marriage algorithms, mostly simple and elegant, can be used to solve corresponding stable roommate problems that are generally much harder than the former. In this talk, after a long introduction of the stable marriage problem for those who are unfamiliar (or even first-timers) with this topic, observations from different angles are given on why the open problem is important, nontrivial and deep.
