Dear colleagues,

The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Supply Chain and Logistics Track at the 2013 Industrial and Systems Engineering ResearchConference (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 Supply Chain and Logistics 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 are welcome in the following areas:


Logistics Network Optimization
Logistics Network Simulation
Inventory Optimization and Control
Production and Distribution Planning

Transportation
Supply Chain Analysis & Design



Procurement & Supplier Selection
Demand Planning

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.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest.  IIE is currently working  on uploading papers of previous years onto IIE website. Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.
