The Young OR conference is an annual event organized by the Operational
Research Society (ORSOC) aimed for OR practitioners and academics in
their first 10 years. This event represents a good opportunity for
young
researchers and OR practioners in business alike to exchange ideas
of
latest development, share experience and make contacts. The conference
consists of various streams on OR related topics including
* Meta Heuristics
* Optimisation
* Data Envelopment Analysis
* Data Mining
* Decision Support
* Defence
* E-commerce
* Energy
* Government
* Simulation
* Soft Methods
* System Dynamics
* Transport
where each participant is encouraged to give a 20-25 minute talk. For
more information on any of this stream please visit the YOR12 website or
contact the corresponding stream organizers. Further events of
the conference are plenary talks, tutorials, a recruitment fair and
the conference banquet. The venue of YOR12 will be the University of Nottingham
(http://www.nottingham.ac.uk).
Anybody intending to attend the Metaheuristic stream of YOR12 is asked
to
submit a short abstract (of less than 200 words) or title to the address
below or
directly through the YOR12 website. Submissions are welcome on all
heuristic and metaheuristic related approaches such as
* Evolutionary Algorithms,
* Tabu Search,
* Simulated Annealing,
* Scatter Search,
* Ant Colony Optimization,
* Guided Local Search,
* Variable Neighbourhood Search,
* Classical Neighbourhood Search methods,
to name but a few. The aim of the metaheuristic stream at YOR12 is to
give young researchers and practitioners in those fields an opportunity
to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and
applications, besides stimulating closer future interaction between
members of the scientific and business community.
The deadline for submission of titles and abstracts has been extended
to the 15th of November 2000. Accepted abstract will be enclosed in the
conference handbook. For more information on the Metaheuristic stream please
