Welcome to the ORUA web

About ORUA

The Maori word orua means "to coincide" and we think about Operations Research and Analytics as engineering, mathematics, statistics, computer science and management science coinciding to improve whatever system we are currently modelling. O(perations) R(esearch) U(nion) A(nalytics) is a research group at The University of Auckland

that investigates Operations Research and Analytics methods and utilises them to improve a wide variety of systems. ORUA is an evolution of NDSG (The Network Design and Simulation Group) because our research has expanded beyond modelling networks. Our public web site contains more information about us, but this is our research "intraweb" and is used for coordinating and documenting our research activities as well as a collaborative tool.
