Dear Colleagues,



The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Social,
Environmental and Sustainability Track at the 2012 Industrial and Systems
Engineering Research Conference (ISERC).  The ISERC is the new name for the
Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC).  The ISERC, which is part
of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging knowledge
and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research
community.



As track chairs of the Social, Environmental and Sustainability Track, we
would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an
abstract.  Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their
work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4
presenters Abstracts may be submitted to the following areas:



Closed Loop Supply Chain

Creating a Sustainability Culture

Emergency and Disaster Logistics

Energy Efficiency

Humanitarian Logistics

Integrating Sustainability into Business Strategy

Remanufacturing and Recycling

Renewable Energy Systems

Social and Environmental Decision Making

Sustainable Design and Product Development

Sustainable Manufacturing and Operations

Sustainable Supply Chains

Sustainable Food Supply

Sustainability Assessments

Sustainability Metrics

Sustainability Modeling

Sustainability Transformation



We encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference
proceedings.  The papers should contain results that are *significant* and
have *archival value* to the industrial and systems engineering research
community; however, the papers are more *limited in scope and length* than a
full-length journal paper.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will
undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed
by ProQuest.  Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be
indexed in the conference proceedings.

The important deadlines for the conference are:

Abstract submissions: November 11, 2011
Notification: December 9, 2011
Submission of full papers (optional but encouraged): January 13, 2012
Notification of paper acceptance: February 24, 2012
Final version of full paper due: March 9, 2012
Presenting author registration deadline: April 1, 2012



If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) you or a co-author must register
for the conference by April 1, 2012 (presentations/papers without an author
registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the
proceedings); (b) you or a co-author must attend and present the paper at
the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for
fellow authors and follow review deadlines.



There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, panels, or
tutorials.  In addition to research presentations, the annual conference
offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions
Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.



We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!



Regards,

Theresa J. Barker
