Call for Abstracts and Presentation Summaries
Montreal Convention Centre | Montreal, Canada
May 18-21, 2024

Track: Operations Research

Abstract Submission Link available on Conference Website: https://www.iise.org/Annual/

Dear Colleagues,

The Operations Research (OR) Society/Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Operations Research Track at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2024. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the Industrial and Systems Engineering research and practitioner communities. The IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2024 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 250-word abstract or presentation summary. 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 this material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).  We highly encourage Abstracts and Presentations Summaries that demonstrate international collaboration and the application of emerging technologies and methods.  Key areas include:

●      Deterministic Optimization
●      Stochastic Modeling
●      Simulation
●      Optimization under Uncertainty
●      Network Optimization
●      Game Theory
●      Approximation Algorithms
●      Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
●      Quantum Computing
●      Socially Responsible Approaches in OR
●      Operations Research Applications in Energy, Healthcare, Finance, Military defense, Homeland Security, Disaster Management, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Illicit Trafficking, Social Goods, Transportation & Logistics, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, COVID-19 Pandemic, Climate Change, and Other Areas

Authors of accepted abstracts and presentation summaries will be invited to share their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presentations. There will also be options where authors can elect to share their content in a “Poster Session”. In addition, there are opportunities to organize and/or participate in Special Sessions (Panels, Workshops, etc.). If you are interested in a special session, please contact us directly by November 10, 2023.

While not required, we strongly encourage all presenters to submit a paper for publication so discoveries can be permanently documented.  This year, two types of papers will be considered: Research Papers and Case Study Papers.
●      Research Papers (with a limit of six pages) contain methods and results that are significant and have archival valueto the industrial and systems engineering community.  They will undergo a double-blind peer review process and accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the Conference Proceedings via ProQuest.
●      Case Study Papers (two to six pages) describe the application of a method or technology that addresses an important industry-motivated issue.  They will be reviewed to ensure that the content focuses on the value and lessons learned for the Industrial and Systems Engineering community.  The case study papers should avoid significant marketing material.  Accepted manuscripts will be published with access via the IISE website.
