Welcome to Michael Tricks Operations Research Blog (ORB). At the moment, this is a\u00a0 blog to see if this is something I want to continue with. With this blog, I plan to chat about happenings in the world of Operations Research.<\/p>\n
A few words about me: I am a past President of INFORMS<\/a> (The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences) and am currently a Vice President of IFORS<\/a> (the International Federation of Operational Research Societies). A long time ago, I created Michael Trick’s Operations Research Page, which eventually became the INFORMS Resources Page.<\/a> I was also the founding editor of INFORMS Online.<\/p>\n For the past eight years, I was President of the Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied Studies in International Management<\/a>, but my time is up, so I am looking for other things to do. Starting January, I will be an Area Editor for the journal Operations Research<\/a>, responsible for the “OR Forum”: articles on controversial and\/or important issues in operations research. This blog is part of some thoughts I had for how to make that Area be relevant and interesting.<\/p>\n So, let’s get this show on the road, and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to Michael Tricks Operations Research Blog (ORB).
