Call for Papers
19th Triennial Conference of
the International Federation of Operational Research Societies
10th – 15th July, 2011
Melbourne, Australia
World OR: Global Economy and Sustainable Environment
Recent natural catastrophes and man-made crises have underscored the
inter-connectedness of our world. Any upheaval leads to momentous
reverberations across the globe with impacts well into the future.
Now more than ever, Operational Research is of strategic importance to
address problems critical to the economy and the environment.
Academics and practitioners are invited to share their knowledge,
experience and insights on theory, methodology and application of
operational research to issues of vital concern to the global
community.
The Opening Plenary talk “Optimal Choice Sets: How tightly should we
regulate?” will be given by Sir James Mirrlees, Trinity College,
Cambridge, Nobel laureate in Economics 1996.
Abstract Submission now open:
Papers on all aspects of Operational Research are invited. Authors
wishing to present are requested to submit an abstract of not more
than 100 words via the Abstract Submission system at:
