Dear Colleagues,

The Society for Engineering and Management Systems (SEMS) of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Engineering Management Track at the 2017 IISE Annual  Conference  and  Expo.  The  conference  is  a  forum  for  exchanging  knowledge  and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2017 IISE Annual Conference and Expo will be one conference. There are no longer separate ISERC  and  Applied  Solutions  sessions.  This  exciting  change  will  bring  researchers  and practitioners together to  share the latest advances in  Engineering Management. To  see the additional changes for the 2017 IISE Annual Conference and Expo, please visit: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.xcdsystem.com_iise_files_Annual2017-5FAbstractsWhatsNewUPDATE-5F091316.pdf&d=CwIFAg&c=Ngd-ta5yRYsqeUsEDgxhcqsYYY1Xs5ogLxWPA_2Wlc4&r=Ue5eprQ_fMYcavWXDDYHbKQI0IFAmpjoy6QR5xcYCC4Qd5ukwoooDHsBFMkK-u0r&m=7V-p2tibZJ_yBWhOB1KvqFokE7z4q72jJ2kVynu1jNo&s=d356e-i9AH_gZ6CghthQqJTcYYtDMAjb_5EOpJQQxig&e=

We  strongly  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 and practitioner community. Full papers have a  six- page  limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest.   IISE is currently working on uploading papers of previous years onto the IISE website. Papers are not required, but strongly encouraged. Presentation only submissions will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the paper must register for the conference by March 13, 2017 (presentations/papers without the presenting author registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference (presenting authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from the proceedings); and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for fellow authors and follow review deadlines - all authors who submit a paper are expected to review two papers.

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

We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!
