The Fourth European Conference on
Intelligent Management Systems in Operations
7-8 July 2009, University of Salford, U.K.
Organised by the U.K. Operational Research Society
Call for Papers
Operations management posses a number of problems of significant complexity whose solution would lead to more effective operations and bring significant economic benefits. Their solution, however, require novel approaches that are based on techniques and principles from both Operational Research and Artificial Intelligence.
This conference, to be held at the Salford Lowry (www.thelowry.com), aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the challenging problems in operations management that are at the OR-AI interface.
Researchers and practitioners from industry and academia are invited to submit papers in all areas related to aspects of design, development, testing and implementation of intelligent management systems in manufacturing and service operations covering but not restricted to:
* Maintenance and Fault Diagnosis
* Scheduling and Capacity Planning
* Supply Chains and Inventory Management
* Knowledge Management in Operations
* E-Business and E-Manufacturing
* Process Design, Quality Management & Control
* Operations and Control of Intelligent Buildings
Papers describing case studies utilising or evaluating AI techniques such as Neural Networks, Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Semantic Ontologies, Knowledge Based Systems, Case Based Reasoning, Fuzzy Logic, Bayesian Networks, Agent Technology as well as Hybrid Intelligent techniques are particularly encouraged.
Key Dates & Deadlines
* Indication of intention to present a paper A.S.A.P.
* Extended abstract of around 500 words to be submitted by 30 November 2008.
* Accepted papers to be notified by 24 December 2008.
* Full papers to be submitted by 31 March 2009.
