Call For Papers
Computer Science and Operations Research:
New Developments in Their Interfaces
Operations Research Society of America
Computer Science Technical Section's
Conference
January 8-10, 1992 Williamsburg, Virginia
The conference will feature contributed papers, panel discussions on current
issues,introductory tutorials on contemporary topics and software, and exhibits by
vendors. We encourage submissions that satisfy one or more of the following
criteria: (a) operations research (OR) is applied to a computer science (CS)
problem; (b) CS is applied to an OR problem; (C) results are drawn from both OR
and CS;and/or (d) results enter uncharted areas that have the potential of
advancing OR and/or CS and are in their interfaces. The figure below illustrates
CS areas that can be applied to OR problems, and OR areas that can be applied
to CS problems.

book.
MAY 1, 1991-Submit four copies of contributed papers that have not previously
been published or presented. All submitted papers must be relevant to the
conference theme and cover new developments in the interfaces of Computer
Science and Operations Research. Full-length papers are required. Each
submitted paper: (1) must have an abstract and a list of key words; (2) must be
typed by using 12-point Times-Roman font; and (3) must not exceed 25
doubles-spaces pages in length.
AUGUST 15, 1991-Receive notification of presentation acceptance.
NOVEMBER 1, 1991-Provide camera-ready copies of papers accepted for
publication in the book.
Submission of papers or proposals implies that the author will attend the
conference at his or her own expense if the submission is accepted. For further
information regarding the conference, please contact General Chairman Osman
