The comprehensive work on queueing theory was reviewed by D.G. The book on operations research was the first to summarize the formal mathematical methods in the field of Operations Research and was translated to Russian and Japanese.

Gass), "Mathematical Methods of Operations Research" (1959), "Elements of Queueing Theory" (1961), and "The Analytic Hierarchy Process" (1980). A current revised version of this proposal is posted here with his University of Pittsburgh vita.Ī 2002 article listing the most important contributions to operations research from 1954 to date listed four from Saaty: "Parametric Programming" (1954, with S. This idea was first published in an article "Center for Conflict Resolution," in the March 1984 issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and it later appeared as an appendix in his 1989 book on Conflict Resolution co-authored with J.M. In line with his long-time interest in peace and conflict resolution, in 1983 Saaty proposed that an International Center for Conflict Resolution needs to be established that would have branches in many countries and would be manned by retired diplomats, negotiators and conflict analysts. Saaty himself was a student of Einar Hille at Yale. According to the Mathematics Genealogy Project, he has had 14 doctoral students. Their subjects include graph theory and its applications, nonlinear mathematics, analytical planning, and game theory and conflict resolution. He has written more than 35 books and 350 papers on mathematics, operations research, and decision making. He has made contributions in the fields of operations research (parametric linear programming, epidemics and the spread of biological agents, queuing theory, and behavioral mathematics as it relates to operations), arms control and disarmament, and urban design. Saaty was a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. His employers at that time included the Operations Evaluation Group of MIT at the Pentagon, the Office of Naval Research, and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency at the U.S. government agencies and for companies doing government-sponsored research. Before that, he spent fifteen years working for U.S. Prior to coming to the University of Pittsburgh, Saaty was professor of statistics and operations research at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (1969–79). He died on the 14th of August 2017 after a year-long battle with cancer. Later on, he generalized the mathematics of the ANP to the Neural Network Process (NNP) with application to neural firing and synthesis but none of them gain such popularity as AHP. He is the inventor, architect, and primary theoretician of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a decision-making framework used for large-scale, multiparty, multi-criteria decision analysis, and of the Analytic Network Process (ANP), its generalization to decisions with dependence and feedback. Saaty (J– August 14, 2017) was a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught in the Joseph M.
