A few early papers are collected here (not easily available elsewhere):


  • G. B. Dantzig (1973), On the need for a Systems Optimization Laboratory, pp. 1-32 in Mathematical Programming, T. C. Hu and S. M. Robinson (Eds.), Academic Press, New York and London.


    This is the reference for the original single-author paper.



  • G. B. Dantzig, R. W. Cottle, B. C. Eaves, F. S. Hillier, A. S. Manne, G. H. Golub, D. J. Wilde, and R. B. Wilson (1974), On the need for a Systems Optimization Laboratory, pp. 3-22 in Optimization Methods for Resource Allocation (Proc. NATO Conf., Elsinore, 1971), R. W. Cottle and J. Krarup (Eds.), English Universities Press, London.


    This is a multi-author version of the same paper.
