[APDIO] IFORS OR-Resources to Developing Countries

["Susana Relvas" <susana.relvas@tecnico.ulisboa.pt>]

Dear colleagues,

The aim of the IFORS Developing Countries On-Line Resources page is to offer
the OR worker all publicly-available materials on the topic of OR for
Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are working in
the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn from others, and
stimulate comments and discussions on the work.

Regarding IFORS Developing Countries OR resources website, its regular
updates - and your possible submission of "free" (not copyright protected)
material, you might occasionally visit

http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page.


"Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced
analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques such
as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to analyze complex
situations, Operational Research gives executives the power to make more
effective decisions and build more productive systems.

The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS;
http://ifors.org/) is an almost 60-year old organization which is currently
composed of more than 50 national societies. Regional Groups of IFORS are:

ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research), APORS
(The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies), EURO (The
Association of European Operational Research Societies), NORAM (The
Association of North American Operations Research Societies).

IFORS conferences are taking place every three years; IFORS 2017 will be
celebrated in Quebec, Canada.


Thank you very much for your attention.

With kind regards,
best wishes.
