Young OR Conference - Call for Abstracts
Calling all young OR practitioners and researchers! Planning is now under
way for the next Young OR Conference, YOR 11, which is to be held at
Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, from 28th -30th March 2000.
The bi-annual Young OR conference is an event where OR practitioners and
academics in their first ten years gather to exchange ideas of latest
developments in techniques, and share experiences of the application of
the techniques and skills so vital to solving key business problems. If
you have been involved in OR for 10 years or less, this is an ideal
opportunity for you to get talking, sharing and making contacts.
The conference is divided into a number of streams covering a diverse
range of OR interests, such as:
- Data Mining
- Defence/Military
- Health
- Knowledge Based Systems
- Meta Heuristics
- Optimisation
- Planning & Scheduling
- System Dynamics/Soft OR
- Telecommunications
To present your work here, all that you need to do is to submit a 200-word
abstract of your work to the organiser of the stream you would like to
present in, and then register and present the paper.
A number of additional streams are being set up, including:
- Planning & Scheduling
- Consultancy
- Decision Support
- Finance & Banking
- Government/Public Sector
- Retail & Yield Management
- Risk Management
- Simulation
- Transport
- Visualisation
If anyone would like to get involved in running a stream, then please let
us know. It's a rewarding task, looks good on your CV, and involves
finding a number of speakers to present at your stream and chairing the
presentations.
For enquires about all of the above, or to locate your stream organiser,
please contact Chris Barrett <[log in to unmask]>.
In addition, you can find up-to-date details about the conference on the
OR Society's web pages: http://www.orsoc.org.uk/
