Dear Members of the 2024 and 2025 INFORMS Board,

  I had mentioned during my report to the Board about the Bridge program
that will be kicked off with a two day event at AAAI 2025.

I am sending you the call for participation/submission (please see below)
for your consideration. Please also feel free to forward to anyone else who
may be interested.

 I am copying Dr. Segev Wasserkrug (member of AIR-Com) in this email -
please reach out to him if you have any questions.

With warm regards,

Radhika Kulkarni

2022 INFORMS President

VP, Advanced Analytics R&D (retired), SAS Institute Inc.

*Combining AI and ORMS for Better Trustworthy Decision Making* *AAAI/INFORMS
Bridge - **C**all for Participation/Submission*

Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Generative AI, and Operations
Research/Management Science (OR/MS) offer proven but distinct approaches to
decision-making with data and models. However, challenges persist in
applying AI and OR/MS to vital socio-technical environments where human and
artificial systems interact. These include the need to combine AI and OR/MS
for the best solution, aligning models with human values and promoting
trust, and the expertise and time required for their application, which
limit wider use.

“Combining  AI and ORMS for Better Trustworthy Decision Making” is a new
bridge program supported by AAAI and INFORMS whose goal is to unite AI and
OR/MS practitioners and researchers to improve trustworthy decision-making
in key socio-technical areas such as supply chains, healthcare, crisis
management, homeland security, robotics, wildlife conservation, medicine,
transportation, and finance. The primary goals of this bridge are to equip
OR/MS and AI researchers with better tools by familiarizing them with each
other's techniques and domains and bring the disciplines together to
advance the research and applications at the intersection of AI and OR/MS
so as to improve decision-making.

This bridge program will be kicked off with a two day event at AAAI 2025,
which will include a half day of invited talks and a tutorial on using
OR/MS for decision-making; a half day of submitted presentations and
posters on applying AI and/or OR/MS and state-of-the-art research on their
integration for trustworthy decision-making; a half day of presentations on
future research directions and key domains for AI and OR/MS integration;
and a half day of discussions to refine research priorities and focus use
cases, and define next steps.  A primary goal of this two-day event will be
to define research priorities and real world decision making problems which
will drive the work for the rest of the bridge.

We invite all interested students, practitioners, and researchers to attend
this event, and encourage the submission of one or more presentation
proposals. Each presentation proposal should be about one or more of the
following:

   - An application of AI and/or OR/MS (individually or together) to
   decision-making.
   - Existing research integrating AI and OR/MS for decision-making.
   - Proposals for new, important research directions that integrate AI and
   OR/MS for decision-making.
   - Proposals for key decision-making domains and use cases where AI and
   OR/MS should be jointly applied, with a rationale for the combined
   approach.
   - Relevant survey presentation.

Submissions can range from a one-page abstract to a full journal article
and may include work at any level of maturity, as well as previously
published work. Submissions should be made through the following link:

an accelerated review process for a special issue of the INFORMS Journal on
