The MSOM Conference will be preceded by
the SIG (Special Interest Group) Conferences
on June 27, 2010
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We invite you to submit a paper to the 2010 MSOM Annual
Conference and
the Special Interest Group Conferences to be held on June 27–29, 2010 at
the
Industrial Engineering and Management Faculty of the Technion –
Israel
Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Both events are sponsored by the Manufacturing and Service
Operations
Management Society (MSOM) of the Institute for Operations
Research and the
Management Sciences (INFORMS). The Special Interest Group (SIG) Conferences
will take place on Sunday, June 27th. The MSOM conference will
take place on
Monday, June 28th and Tuesday, June 29th.
This year there will be four (4) SIG Conferences: Supply Chain
Management,
Service Management, iFORM (interface of Finance, Operations, and
Risk
Management), and this year a new SIG – Health Care Operations Management.
In addition to building an exciting and stimulating academic
program, the
conference committee is also planning an equally exhilarating
and interesting
social program. This includes a conference banquet, pre‐ and
post‐conference
tours, spouse program, and post‐conference get‐together. Details,
as they
become available, will be posted on the conference web site.
If you are interested in presenting your research in either the MSOM
Conference
or a SIG Conference, we invite you to submit your work by
Monday February
8th, 2010. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of experts.
For the MSOM 2010 conference: the process for accepting papers
will be as
decided by the MSOM Society, i.e. blind abstracts will be
submitted for blind
review. Each abstract should consist of (no more than) a
3‐page description of
the work to be presented. The abstract should include a brief
description of the
research problem, the key methodology and assumptions used, and a summary
of major results and their significance, but should not include any math
or Greek
symbols. Note that submission requirements for the MSOM
conference and the
SIG Conferences may differ.
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: February 8th, 2010 (Monday)
•
Review deadline: March 15th, 2010 (Monday)
•
Notification of acceptance: April 12th, 2010 (Monday)
•
Submission instructions:
Those interested in presenting at the MSOM conference should
submit their
extended abstracts in PDF format through http://msom.technion.ac.il.
Author/s’
names should not appear in the PDF file; this and other
information will be
collected by the electronic system at the time of submission.
For papers with
multiple authors, the submission must designate one author as
the presenter.
Participants cannot present more than one talk at the MSOM conference.
Each SIG Conference has its own submission requirements and review process.
For more information and a copy of the SIG call for papers we invite you
to visit
the conference web site (http://msom.technion.ac.il) and click on the
SIG tab.
Even though the same work cannot be presented at both the MSOM conference
and a SIG Conference, authors may have their submission considered by
both. To
do so, they should only make a single submission to the SIG Conference
and let
the SIG Conference Chair know that they would also like to be considered
for the
MSOM conference, should space not allow their inclusion in the SIG
Conference.
We look forward to welcoming you to Israel in June.
The best way of contacting the MSOM 2010 Conference Committee is to send an
email to msom2010(a)gmail.com
