<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The <b>Operations Research (OR) Division</b> of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the
<b>Operations Research</b> Track at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2025. 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
2025 will continue to integrate research and industry applications under one conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As track chairs of the <b>Operations Research Track</b>, 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 <i>refereed extended abstracts</i>, 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 presentation summaries that demonstrate international collaboration and the application of emerging technologies and
methods. Key areas include:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
