Dear Colleagues:



The Construction Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems
Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Construction Division 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 Construction.  To
see the additional changes for the 2017 IISE Annual Conference and Expo,
please visit:

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conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the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(presenting authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from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!
