Optimization and Computation in the Network Era : Call for Papers -----------------------------------------------
The aim of the INFORMS Computing Society, and of its research conferences, is to invigorate and further develop the interface of OR/MS and CS/AI. We invite you to the Eighth ICS conference which highlights research on the conference theme "Optimization and Computation in the Network Era". The conference will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from January 8-10, 2003, at the Sheraton San Marcos Resort and Convention Center. We solicit papers with either a theoretical, computational, or applied focus on the conference theme as well as topics of general interest to the INFORMS Computing Society. The conference will consist of a plenary talk, tutorials on advanced topics, and research presentations covering two categories of papers: peer-review papers (submissions due May 18) that will be compiled into a book published by Kluwer, and unrefereed, shorter, papers (abstracts due November 23). The conference is sponsored in part by the eBusiness Research Center at Penn State University.
