Intelligence (AI)/Operations Research (OR)</i>, in late February or early March 2024, to set a course for fundamental research that needs the partnership of both disciplines. Organized by Yu Ding (Georgia Institute of Technology), Pascal Van Hentenryck (Georgia
Institute of Technology), Sven Koenig (University of Southern California), Ramayya Krishnan (Carnegie Mellon University), Radhika Kulkarni (INFORMS), and Phebe Vayanos (University of Southern California), the workshop will focus on drafting a strategic plan
