Biographical Note
Prof. Amedeo R. Odoni
Amedeo Odoni was born in 1943 in Athens. His father, Rodolfo, was an Italian citizen who was born in
Alexandroupolis in 1912 and lived in Greece throughout his life and his mother, Maria Zei, was Greek.
Professor Odoni grew up in Athens and Thessaloniki, and has been living in the United States since
1961. He is married to Eleni Mahaira and since 2002 he is dividing his time between Greece and the
United States.
Professor Odoni attended high-school at Anatolia College in Thessaloniki, from which he graduated in
1961 with a grade of “arista” and was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He
began his studies at MIT in September 1961 and obtained there the Bachelor of Science degree in
1965, the Master of Science in 1967 and the Ph.D. in 1969, all in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science, with Operations Research being the field of specialization of his doctoral dissertation.
Upon completion of his Ph.D. in September 1969, at the age of 26, he was immediately appointed as an
Assistant Professor, first in the Department of Civil Engineering of MIT and then in the Department of
Aeronautics and Astronautics. He has served by now continuously on the faculty of MIT for 37 years.
In 1974 he was promoted to Associate Professor, in 1977 to Associate Professor with tenure, and in
1980 to Professor in the Departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at MIT.
Professor Odoni has published extensively in top journals in the areas of operations research,
management science, urban systems analysis, air traffic flow management, and airport planning and
operations. In addition, Professor Odoni has co-authored three books, co-edited another five books and
contributed chapters to numerous edited books.
Professor Odoni has held major responsibilities in prominent professional journals. From 1986 until
1991, he served with distinction as Editor-in-Chief of Transportation Science, generally considered to
be the most prestigious scholarly journal in the field of quantitative analysis and modeling in the
transportation sector. Previously and/or thereafter he has also been Associate Editor of several other
well-known international journals including Operations Research – the pre-eminent journal in
operations research, the Journal of Aircraft, Safety and Reliability, Interfaces, and Transportation
Research C. He is currently on the editorial boards of Transportation Science and of the Air Traffic
Control Quarterly.
The second major dimension of Professor Odoni’s academic career is as an educator. Professor Odoni
is an outstanding teacher, both in the classroom and in his one-to-one interactions with his thesis and
research students. He has been honored twice with the Excellence in Teaching Award given by the
Graduate Student Association of MIT and in 1991 was presented with the National Award for
Excellence in Aviation Education by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. In 2002 Professor
Odoni was honored with the Excellence in Teaching Award of the Graduate Program in Decision
Sciences of the Athens University of Economics and Business.
One of the courses which he has been teaching every year beginning in 1972, along with his colleagues
Professors Arnold Barnett and Richard Larson, is “Logistical and Transportation Planning Methods”,
which is based on the Urban OR textbook he has co-authored with Professor Larson. This course is
publicly available to any person in the world on the famous MIT Open Courseware website. It is the
most popular, as measured a year ago by the number of monthly “hits”, among about 200 MIT graduate
courses posted on the website, with several thousands of readers accessing it every year.
Another book of Professor Odoni, Airport Systems: Planning, Design and Management, co-authored
with Professor Richard de Neufville, was published in 2003 by McGraw-Hill. This book, which is used
in a graduate course at MIT and at many other universities, is currently the best-selling English
language textbook on airports.
Professor Odoni has advised a large number of extremely talented Ph.D. students that, as he says, “he
has had the privilege to work with” during his long academic career. He has supervised 39 Ph.D.
dissertations to date and has served as a member of more than 100 other dissertation committees,
including two at the Athens University of Economics and Business. Many of these students are now
distinguished leaders in universities or industry throughout the world, serving as Department Heads,
chaired professors, laboratory directors, and company presidents or chief scientists. Some of these
dissertations represent significant milestones in the development of operations research and
management science. INFORMS has awarded, since 1976, an annual prize for the best Ph.D. thesis in
the field of Transportation Science completed during each year. This competition is open to PhD
graduates of all universities in the world. Of the 30 times this prize has been awarded to date, the Ph.D.
students of Professor Odoni have won the first prize four times (Roger Dear, Harilaos Psaraftis, Patrick
Jaillet, and Dimitris Bertsimas) and the second prize twice (Kerry Malone, William Hall) –
significantly more times than the students of any other individual.
Professor Odoni has been very active as a consultant for the past 30 years. One of his earliest
consulting projects was as a member of the team that in 1974 designed the taxiway and apron system
for the new International Airport in Munich, which opened in 1991. This was the first time ever when a
fast-time computer simulation model was developed and used to support the actual design of an airport.
Following that initial experience, Professor Odoni has worked, in chronological order, on major
planning or operations projects at the airports of Amsterdam (Schiphol), Stockholm (Arlanda),
Cleveland, Boston, Milan (Linate and Malpensa), Sydney, Pisa, New York (LaGuardia and Kennedy),
Bologna, Athens, and Frankfurt – with repeat assignments in several of these cases. In addition, he has
taught many short courses on air transportation, airports and air traffic control for the United Nations
Development Program, NASA, the Airport Authority of Milan, the Delft Technical University and
several other organizations.
During the past year, he has served as a member of the informal committee of the National Council on
Education (ΕΣΥΠ) that recommended in May a number of reform measures for Greek universities. He
was recently appointed a member of the newly-established Hellenic Quality Assurance Agency for
Higher Education (Α.ΔΙ.Π.).
For the past 20 years, Professor Odoni has held a number of important leadership positions within and
outside MIT. In 1986, he was appointed Co-Director of MIT’s famous Operations Research Center, a
position in which he served until 1991. From 1991 to 1996, he was Head of the Systems Division of the
MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In October 1996, he became one of the original two
national Co-Directors of NEXTOR, the National Center of Excellence in Aviation Operations
Research, which was established by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to conduct advanced
research on Air Traffic Management and on airport operations by “bringing together the best university
minds in the field of Air Transportation”. The Center consists of a consortium of five leading
universities (MIT, University of California at Berkeley, University of Maryland, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, and George Mason University) supplemented by several other affiliated universities and
industrial organizations. He stepped down from this position in 2002. From 1999 until now he is also
Co-Director of MIT’s Global Airline Industry Center, a research and educational program on the
world’s air transportation system, which has been set up at MIT with support from a large grant
provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
In recognition of his contributions to scholarship, MIT in 1996 named Professor Odoni the T. Wilson
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The T. Wilson Chair is an endowed professorship created
by the Boeing Company in honor of the late Mr. Wilson, who served as President of Boeing for many
years and was a 1953 graduate of MIT.
In 2001, INFORMS, the professional society of operations researchers awarded him with the Robert F.
Herman Award for Lifetime Contributions to Transportation Science. This is the most prestigious
award of INFORMS in the transportation field and is given every three years in recognition of “a body
of work during an individual’s professional career that has substantially advanced the state-of-the-art of
Transportation Science”. Professor Odoni was the fourth recipient in the history of this award.
In 2004, he was elected Fellow of INFORMS, the highest recognition offered by the society and the
OR/MS profession.
In 2002, the Senate of the Athens University of Economics and Business (9th Assembly of April 11th,
2002), following a recommendation of the Department of Management Science and Technology,
decided to award to Professor Amedeo R. Odoni a Doctorate honoris causa in recognition of his
outstanding contribution to the fields of operations research and management science.
An overview of the Scholarly Contributions of Professor Amedeo R. Odoni 1
The central theme of Professor Odoni’s scholarly contributions has been the development and analysis
of probabilistic models that explore the impact of uncertainty on the behavior and characteristics of
various systems and processes. His research and publications span theoretical and methodological
results, as well as many important application areas.
His first published paper in 1969, based on his Master’s thesis, was a theoretical one and developed a
widely-cited general result for Markov Decision Processes, which is now known as the “Odoni
bounds” (1, 2). His work on queueing theory, with Roth and Escobar, has explored the behavior of
queueing systems under time-varying conditions (14, 38). This research has led to the development of
some of the few existing practical computational tools for the almost exact analysis of dynamic
queueing systems. The approach is based on the iterative solution of large systems of differential and
difference equations.
Another major topic for the methodological work of Prof. Odoni has been in the area of combinatorial
optimization. He and two of his Ph.D. students, Patrick Jaillet and Dimitris Bertsimas (both are now
well-known MIT professors), have investigated probabilistic variations of several classical
optimization problems, such as the spanning tree problem, the traveling salesman problem and the
vehicle routing problem. For example, for the traveling salesman problem they have considered the
situation in which some or all of the points may not have to be visited on any given instance of the
problem. The question then is how to design an a priori tour which has the minimum expected length,
when the expectation is computed over all possible instances of the tour. This specific problem, which
is now known as the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP), was described for the first time
by Professor Odoni in the early 1980s, as a result of consulting work he was doing at the time for UPS,
a large package distribution company. It was the subject of the Ph.D. dissertation of Dr. Jaillet (16, 33).
The seminal paper, “A Priori Optimization”, by Bertsimas, Jaillet and Odoni, which was published in
1990 (19) and develops the fundamental concepts and methodology in the analysis of probabilistic
combinatorial problems, has given rise to a new subfield of operations research, with numerous
researchers all over the world now working in it. The reason for this widespread interest is that, in
many practical situations, such as vehicle routing and the design of pick-up and delivery routes, the
consideration of uncertainty makes these combinatorial problems far more applicable than their
classical deterministic counterparts.
In the air transportation field and beginning with his PhD thesis in 1969, Professor Odoni has pioneered
research on a wide range of topics, addressed alone or with various colleagues or Ph.D. students:
airport capacity and airport delays (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 49); planning and design of airport passenger terminals
(20); the sequencing of airplanes on runways to minimize air traffic delays (8, 24); the propagation and
spreading of delays through air transportation networks under unfavorable weather conditions (32, 32,
35); air transportation safety (15); and air transportation security (37). In recent years, he has worked
with his colleagues, at the Transportation Systems and Logistics Laboratory (TRANSLOG) of the
Athens University of Economics and Business, the Athens International Airport, and Profs. Giovanni
Andreatta and Lorenzo Brunetta at the University of Padova on the development of an integrated
package of models that computes capacities and delays at every part of an airport and identifies the
interactions between airside and landside airport facilities (36, 43).
The area where Professor Odoni’s research most probably has had its greatest impact is the
management of air traffic flows. The air traffic control systems of the United States and of Europe must
come up every day with a plan for air traffic flows that day. For example, if weather conditions are
forecast to be poor in one or more particular geographical areas, aircraft may have to be re-routed to fly
around this area or areas. If visibility will be poor or there will be a storm near a major airport, the
departure of flights headed to that airport may have to be delayed for some time to make sure that the
flights will not have to wait for too long in the air when they get close to their destination. Moreover,
the initial plans for each day may have to be revised several times later in the day as new information

about weather, actual airspace congestion and actual airport congestion is received. Coming up with
good flow management plans and timely and successful updates is of critical importance: a wellfunctioning flow management system can save millions of euros on days with poor weather for the
airlines and their passengers. In 1987, Odoni published a paper (19) in which he formulated the air
traffic flow management problem as a stochastic and dynamic problem and outlined basic concepts for
addressing it. This was the first truly scientific paper published on this subject and is now recognized as
a milestone in the field. As air traffic flows have been increasing steadily over the past 20 years and as
the complexity of traffic flow management has similarly grown, this has become one of the most active
areas of transportation science research internationally. More than 100 papers and PhD dissertations
have been published by now with many of the resulting ideas finding their way to field implementation,
notably in connection with the Collaborative Decision Making program for air traffic flow
management, which was started in 1998 in the United States and has now been initiated in Europe, as
well. Professor Odoni and his many collaborators continue to lead in this research with work that is
widely followed (22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, 34, 42, 45, 46). The next phase of these projects has just
received (September 2006) generous additional funding from NASA, in recognition of its importance
to air transportation.
Other areas to which Professor Odoni and his research colleagues have contributed significantly over
the course of decades are the design of urban service systems, such as emergency response systems, as
well as practically every aspect of air transportation. For example, Professor Odoni and his long-time
colleague and friend, Professor Richard Larson of MIT, along with many of their Ph.D. students, have
written an extensive and extensively cited series of papers on facility location theory, in general, and on
the optimal location of urban emergency services and of transportation facilities (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17,
18, 21, 27). These include ambulances, hospitals, police cars and fire stations, as well as subway
stations and post offices. A distinguishing feature of the relevant mathematical models is that the
effects of traffic congestion and of stochastic demand fluctuations are taken into consideration in
determining optimal locations and deployment strategies for these facilities and services. They are also
particularly useful in exploring the relationships between geometry and probability, as well as in
providing a general framework for understanding the properties of spatially distributed queues.
The fundamental ideas and modeling approaches on which this extensive body of work is based are
captured in the classic book Urban Operations Research [50] that Professors Larson and Odoni coauthored and published in 1981. Urban OR is a legendary book for many operations researchers and
management scientists. Literally thousands of graduate students throughout the world have used this
book (or the lecture notes that preceded its publication) for advanced courses in OR. In a recent
historical review of developments in Operations Research, Urban OR is singled out as one of the
milestones in the history of the profession (Gass, OR/MS Today, 2003).
In recent years, in addition to continuing work on several of the topics mentioned previously, Professor
Odoni’s research has concentrated increasingly on economic and policy issues related to air
transportation. One of these is the use of congestion pricing and of auctions for the allocation of scarce
capacity at congested airports (29, 40, 41). Based on this work, Professor Odoni, working as a
consultant with the Federal Aviation Administration – i.e., the Civil Aviation Authority of the United
States – and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey helped resolve in early 2000, the
enormous air traffic congestion problems that had developed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport in 2000
(39, 40). A second area of recent work has investigated the additional cost to passengers in the United
States and in the European Union caused by the many taxes and fees that are now added to air travel
tickets (44, 47, 48). The results of the first phase of this research have attracted wide attention and were
transmitted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) of the U.S. Congress to all members of
the Senate and of the House of Representatives. Reports on the continuing progress of this work appear
regularly in the press in the United States and have been presented to the European Commission
(Directorate General for Transport and Energy)
