Summer Workshop on

Stochastic Models in Operations Research/Management Science

Academy of Mathematics and System Science, CAS

National Natural Science Foundation of China

Operations Research Society of China

Beijing, China

August 13--15, 2006

To continuously promote the research and practices of Operations Research/ Management Science in China, Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, and The Operations Research Society of China are jointly organizing a summer workshop on “Stochastic Models in Operations Research/Management Science”. World renowned researchers are invited to present the state-of-art research and frontier of the subject areas. The objective is to expose the latest developments to the young faculty members and graduate students in Chinese universities and research institutions.

Junior faculty members/researchers and graduate students are encouraged to apply to attend the workshop. The workshop attendants will not only be introduced to the latest research developments in design, analysis, and optimization of operations, supply chains, and logistics, they will also get the opportunity to interact with world leading researchers in their respective research fields and develop research collaboration relationships with them.

This is the second one of a series of multi-year workshops, with each year emphasizing a particular theme of Operations Research/Management Science. It is hoped that through a series of such workshops, the research activities in these areas in China will be brought to a new level.
