<p> 1) Although it's somewhat late, I wanted to let you know
about some papers in the March issue with coauthors who have
backgrounds in industrial and systems engineering: <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Manuel Nunez at University of Connecticut is a coauthor of "A
Decision Theoretic Foundation for Noise Traders and Correlated
Speculation."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Robin Dillon-Merrill at Georgetown is a coauthor of "Partitioning
the Expected Value of Countermeasures with an Application to
Terrorism."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Forough Pourhoussein at University of Delaware and Steven
Shechter at University of British Columbia are among the coauthors
of "Assortment Planning with Satisficing Customers."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also wrote a brief editorial celebrating the 20th anniversary
of the journal, "Trends in<span> </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Decision Analysis</i>: A
Reflection on the First 20 Years of the Journal."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> 2) The best-paper award winner from 2023 has an engineer
coauthor: Gordon Hazen, professor emeritus at Northwestern
University, is a coauthor of "<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Information Density in Decision
Analysis." Congratulations, Gordy!</span></p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The runner-up paper was
also written by system engineers: Roger Chapman Burk of West
Point and Richard Nehring of Nucor wrote </span>"An Empirical
Comparison of Rank-Based Surrogate
Weights in Additive Multiattribute Decision Analysis."</p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> 3) If any of you
