We are pleased to announce the official launch of the PhD Student Conference on

Operational Research (SCOR 2014), now back for its fourth instalment. We invite you

to join us once again, at the beautiful University of Nottingham campus the 2-4 May 2014.

 

PhD students from all European Universities studying Operational Research, Management

Science or a related field are kindly invited to submit an abstract for presentation at the 

conference. As some presenters may still be on an early stage of in their careers, the work

presented does not need to be fully developed or thoroughly explored as of yet. The purpose

of SCOR 2014 is to provide a friendly environment for the next generation of Operational

Researchers to receive constructive feedback on their work and to meet people with similar

interests. The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:

*Big Data & Analytics * Data Mining * Energy * Forecasting * Graphs / Networks * Healthcare *
*Heuristics * Inventory * Mathematical Programming * Multicriteria Decision Analysis * 
*Neural Networks / Machine Learning * Optimisation and Applications * Reliability / Risk 
Assessment * Scheduling / Timetabling * Stochastic Modelling * Supply Chain Management *
*Simulation / System Dynamics * Transport /Logistics*

The conference takes place just after the NATCOR course, which will also be held in Nottingham.

 

*******Deadline for abstract (250 words) submission: Monday 24th February 2014*********

A notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after this deadline. In order to encourage a wide

range of students to attend, an affordable conference fee will cover accommodation, a full social

program and full catering provided.

***************Deadline for papers submission: Friday 11th April 2014*******************

Presenters are also invited to submit a paper (no more than 10 pages) on their work to be 
published electronically as part of the SCOR 2014 proceedings. This will be available in the
Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs). Paper submissions will undergo a selection
process based on refereeing by the Committee. This gives doctoral candidates a chance to
experience the peer-review process and to enhance their technical writing skills. Although it
is not mandatory, it is again, highly recommended. To get an idea on the paper standards
please visit the SCOR2012 proceedings.

 

 

                                                 See you in Nottingham!!!
