In\nhis talk, titled \u201cService Engineering: Data-Based Science in Support of Service\nManagement, or Empirical Adventures in Call Centers and Hospitals,\u201d Dr. Mandelbaum described\nexamples of complex service operations for which data-based simple models have\nbeen found useful (e.g., call centers, hospitals, banks, courts and more). Dr.\nMandelbaum, the Benjamin and Florence Free Chair Professor of Operations\nResearch, Statistics and Service Engineering at Technion - Israel Institute of\nTechnology, views these service systems through the mathematical lenses of\nQueueing Science, with a bias towards Statistics.
