As the IERC 2008 Production Planning and Scheduling Track Chair, it
gives me immense pleasure to invite you to chair a session at the
Industrial Engineering Research Conference to be held in Vancouver,
British Columbia from May 17-21, 2008.

 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, MRP, lot-sizing,
"traditional" scheduling topics, planning and scheduling issues in a
variety of environments (including semi-conductor manufacturing, health
care, etc.). If you are interested in additional topics, please let me
know.

 

As session chair, you would be responsible for inviting 3 to 4 speakers
in the above topic area. The total session will be of 75 minutes
duration. We would also expect your cooperation in ensuring the high
quality of the papers presented by screening the initial submissions,
reviewing the manuscripts and / or extended abstracts (if papers are not
submitted), as well as ensuring that at least one of the authors
presents and also registers for the conference. As session chair, we
would also appreciate your presence at the session in order to conduct
the proceedings.

 

For your planning purposes, here are some of the confirmed deadlines of
abstract / paper submissions:

Submission of initial abstract: October 26, 2007 

Notifications of acceptance/declines of abstracts sent: December 14,
2007 

Submission of papers (this is optional, not a requirement): January 25,
2008

Notification of acceptance/declines of papers: March 14, 2008

Final paper due: March 28, 2008

Speaker registration deadline: April 4, 2008.

 

Since we are working on a very tight research conference
program-planning schedule, I would greatly appreciate receiving your
intention to be a session chair by the close of October 12th , 2007.

 

I sincerely hope that you will join me in making a successful IERC 2008
and look forward to hear from you. In the case that you will not be able
to participate, I would very much appreciate your recommendation for
qualified candidates to serve as a session chair.

 

With best regards,
