Dear colleagues,

The Operations Research Division of the Institute of Industrial & 
Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Operations Research Track at 
the 2020 IISE Annual Conference & Expo. The conference is a forum for 
exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems 
engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2020 IISE Annual 
Conference & Expo will continue to integrate research and industry 
applications under one conference.

As track chairs of the Operations Research Track, we encourage you to 
contribute to the conference and track by submitting a 1 pg. extended 
abstract (template provided on the abstract submission website). Authors 
will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which 
will be available on the conference website and can be cited. They will 
not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, 
and therefore there is no limitation on reusing extended abstract 
material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal 
papers or subsequent conference proceedings). Extended abstracts are 
welcome in the following areas:

●	Methods at the intersection of Machine Learning and Operations 
Research
●	Stochastic Programming
●	Robust Optimization
●	Integer Programming
●	Nonlinear Programming
●	Network Optimization
●	Multi-Objective Optimization
●	Applications of Operations Research in areas such as, but not limited 
to, healthcare, supply chain management, disaster response, 
sustainability, homeland security, and the public sector

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in a 
conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to 
four presenters. There are also opportunities to organize special 
sessions (e.g., tutorials, panels, workshops). If you are interested in 
organizing such a session, please contact the track chairs by October 
15, 2019. We also encourage all presenters to submit a full-length paper 
for the conference proceedings. The papers should contain methods and 
results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial 
and systems engineering community. Full papers have a six-page limit and 
will undergo a double-blind peer review process. All accepted papers 
will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings via 
ProQuest.

Important deadlines:
●	Abstract submission deadline:					November 8, 2019
●	Notification of decision on abstract: 				December 5, 2019
●	Paper submission deadline (optional but encouraged):		January 20, 2020
●	Notification of decision on paper: 				February 24, 2020
●	Paper final revision submission deadline: 			March 13, 2020
●	Presenting author registration deadline: 			March 13, 2020

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the 
paper must register for the conference by March 13, 2020 
(presentations/papers without the presenting author being 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; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for 
other papers in the track and follow the review deadlines.

Please send inquiries about the track to Thomas Sharkey 
(sharkt at rpi.edu).

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
