From the reviews:
“This volume originates from the 12th Combinatorial Optimization Workshop in Aussois, 2008, where 50 years of integer programming were celebrated. It describes the history and the present state of integer programming. The volume consists of four parts ... . This volume is a precious account of the history and the current state of integer programming.” (Rainer Burkard, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 f)
