Graham Kendall [ [http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gxk Graham Kendall's Home Page ] ] , PhD, FORS ("Fellow of the Operational Research Society" [ [http://www.orsoc.org.uk The OR Society, The Operational Research Society (Operational Research, OR, Data, Analysis, Forecasting, Decision Support, Statistics, Simulation, Spreadsheet modelling, Yield... ] ] ) (born July 21, 1961) is a Professor of Computer Science at The University of Nottingham, UK. He is a member of the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning (ASAP) Research Group [ [http://www.asap.cs.nott.ac.uk ASAP Research Group ] ] within the School of Computer Science [http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cs] .

He is an Associate Editor of six international journals. He has been a member of the programme/technical committees of over 100 international conferences. He is the author of over 90 refereed papers and has co-edited (or is co-editing) 10 books.
He chairs the Programme and Organising Committee of the international MISTA Conference Series] . He also co-chaired the inaugural IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games in 2005 (held at The University of Essex, UK), and also chaired the second conference in Reno, Nevada, USA in 2006. In 2007, he co-chaired the first IEEE Symposium of Computational Intelligence and Scheduling (Hawaii, USA).
Professor Kendall has supervised ten PhD students to completion, and is currently supervising a further ten PhD students.
His research interests include
*Scheduling (particularly sports scheduling)
*cutting and packing. See, for example the bin packing problem, knapsack problem and packing problems
*Optimisation
*Operations Research
*Meta-heuristics
*Hyper-heuristics
*Evolutionary computation
*Artificial intelligence
*game intelligence.
Before entering academia, Professor Kendall worked in the IT industry for fifteen years, holding a variety of technical and managerial positions.
