The INFORMS Computing Society Conference will hold their annual meeting in Miami from January 3-5, 2007. While ICS has a large contingent at the INFORMS Annual Meeting, this conference has a much different feel. Rather than being part of a 3500 person conference, the ICS Conference aims for around 100-150 participants, all interested in the interaction between OR and computer science. A highlight of this conference will be the presentation by Robert Atlas, director of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Labs. AOML looks at things like hurricanes, climate change (or stability, for this politically charged issue!), and coastal effects. This area is a great one for OR: there are lots of policy issues that can use an analytical input.
The deadline for abstract submission for this conference is October 1, 2006.
