Operational Research Peripatetic Post-graduate Programme

a EURO conference for young researchers
September 26-29 2001
LAMSADE - Paris, France

Deadline for submission 1 March 2001

WHAT IS ORP3 ?

ORP3 is a new EURO instrument designed for young OR researchers and practitioners. ORP3 aims at being a forum promoting scientific and social exchanges between the members of the future generation of Operational Research in academia and industry.

Each edition of ORP3 will be hosted by a renowned European centre in OR. The organisation of the Conference is entirely in the hands of young OR researchers of the hosting centre.

• PhD students
• young OR researchers having obtained their PhD before 1/03/99
• young OR analysts who will have no more than two years of professional experience by March 2001

are invited to participate.

There is no imperative theme : every subject dealing with OR-DA is acceptable. Nevertheless, papers centred around

• combinatorial optimisation
• linear programming
• multiple criteria decision making
• interface between OR and AI
• real-world applications of OR

are especially welcomed.

Full refereed proceedings will be available on the WWW at http://www.orp3.com. Furthermore, a special issue of a renowned OR journal will be edited following the conference.

ORP3 is an exchange-based conference oriented towards discussion and training with a limited number of participants and special sessions devoted to research methodology and philosophy.
