The OR Society’s Annual Conference
11-13 September 2018
Lancaster University
The OR Society is very pleased to invite you to join us for OR60, the diamond anniversary of the society’s annual conference. A stimulating program is in place that should be of interest and value to researchers and practitioners alike. Details of the streams and organisers are available on our website www.theorsociety.com/OR60. Academics, practitioners, researchers and students with interest in any aspect of operational research are welcome to contribute to the OR60 programme with informative, interesting and challenging papers. Prospective authors are welcome to discuss proposals for papers with stream organisers, in advance of submission.
Each stream is encouraged to have a keynote speaker. A keynote speaker can provide a full paper or an extended abstract, however this is not compulsory. Such a paper will typically present a state of the art review of an area and discuss future directions for research in the field. Keynote presentations will be highlighted in the conference programme and allocated additional time in the conference schedule if required. If the speaker produces a full written version (maximum six pages), this can be published in the OR60 Keynote Papers Handbook which is referenced with an ISB number and listed in SCOPUS. Keynote speakers will be expected to submit a title and abstract, showing the word ‘Keynote’ in the title box, through the OR60 website and to register and pay to attend the conference.
