Abstract(s)

This contribution will focus on Computational Tools of Open-Source Software that are rather interesting in teaching Operations Research applied to engineering sciences, (Tavares et al 1996) specifically some educational experiences in the area of Forecasting; Simulation; Graphs and Networks; Decision Theory and Linear Programming. We introduce some examples with RStudio v0.97 (Verzani, 2008) especially in the forecasting area and with Scilab 5.4.1 (Barreto, 2011) for Graphs and Networks (Shortest Path and maximum Flow) and the remaining topics (Taha, 2007) with an Open Source Spreadsheet: Gnumeric 1.12.0.
