ISORA-QTNA2020 1st Call for Papers

General Information

The 14th International Symposium on Operations Research and Its Applications (ISORA) and the 15th International Conference on Queueing Theory and Network Applications (QTNA) will be jointly organized by Asia-Pacific Operations Research Center (APORC) under APORS and the Operations Research Society of China, to be held in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province in China, from August 19 (Wednesday) to 23 (Sunday), 2020.

The first ISORA conference took place at Beijing in 1995 and the second was held at Guilin in 1996 in China. From the third, ISORA1998 (Kunming), ISORA2002 (Yichang-Chongqing), ISORA2005 (Tibet), ISORA2006 (Xinjiang), ISORA2008 (Lijiang), ISORA2009 (Zhangjiajie), ISORA2010 (Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou), ISORA2011 (Dunhuang), ISORA2013 (Huangshan), ISORA2015 (Luoyang), ISORA2018 (Guiyang) in China.

The first QTNA conference took place at Seoul, Korea in 2006. Then QTNA has been held in every year: QTNA2007 (Kobe, Japan), QTNA2008 (Taipei, Taiwan), QTNA2009 (Singapore), QTNA2010 (Beijing, China), QTNA2011 (Seoul, Korea), QTNA2012 (Kyoto, Japan), QTNA2013 (Taichung, Taiwan), QTNA2014 (Bellingham, USA), QTNA2015 (Hanoi, Vietnam), QTNA2016 (Wellington, New Zealand), QTNA2017 (Qinhuangdao, China), and QTNA2018 (Tsukuba, Japan), QTNA2019 (Ghent, Belgium).

This celebrated joint conference ISORA-QTNA2020 is for both ISORA and QTNA community. We hope that this collaboration will become a milestone for our research activity related to ISORA’s topics and QTNA’s topics.

Aim of the Conferences

ISORA is a series international symposium with goals to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers, educators, and practitioners in OR/MS to exchange ideas and approaches, to present research findings and state-of-the-art solutions, to share experiences on potentials and limits, and to open new avenues of research and developments, on all issues and topics related to the theories and applications of Operations Research. The previous ISORAs under the support of CAS and National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) were successful and attracted many international scholars.

The QTNA conference aims to promote the knowledge and development of high-quality research on queueing theory and its applications to networks and other related fields. The conference brings together researchers, scientists and practitioners from over the world and offers an open forum to share the latest important research accomplishments and challenging problems in the area of queueing theory, and network and related applications.

As the eastern terminal of the Silk Road and the site of the famous Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty, the city has won a reputation all over the world. More than 3,000 years of history including over 1,100 years as the capital city of ancient dynasties, have endowed the city with an amazing historical heritage. Travelers marvel at the numerous historical sites and cultural relics in the city. Attractions within the city of Xi’an include Terracotta Army museum, bell tower, city wall, Muslim quarter, giant wild goose pagoda, etc.
