OPERATIONS RESEARCH AROUND THE WORLD MEETINGS July 31 to August 25 of 1967 Through cooperation of The Institute of Management Sciences (TIMS), the Operations Research Society of Spain, the Operational Research Society of India, and the Operations Research Society of Japan, four coordinated meetings that extend around the world will be held in 1967. Although devoted primarily to scientific considerations, these meetings will also emphasize personal contacts among operations researchers of different nationalities. That is, the planning of meeting events will be oriented in this direction. Tentatively, the schedule of the meetings is: (1) July 31 through August 3, Madrid, Spain (sponsored by the Operations Research Society of Spain). (2) August 7 through August 10, Delhi, India (sponsored by the Operational Research Society of India and the University of Delhi). (3) August 14 through August 17, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan (sponsored by the Operations Research Society of Japan). (4) August 22 through August 25, Mexico City, Mexico (the 14th International Meeting of TIMS). Each meeting is the responsibility of its sponsor. However, there will be overall coordination among the meetings. Dr. John E. Walsh, System Development Corporation, Santa Monica, California, U.S.A. is the Coordinator and should be contacted for information about participation in one or more of these meetings. The programs and travel arrangements will, to a large ex- tent, be under the direction of the Coordinator. All papers will be of an invited nature and of two lengths (long and short). Potential attendees are requested to send abstracts of papers to the Coordinator for consideration. Authors of suitable papers will then be invited to present their papers at meetings that they are able to attend. The end of 1966 is the deadline for submitting papers for consideration. Also, persons who are able to attend and are available to be session chairmen, discussants, panel members, etc. should contact the Coordinator within the next few months. As currently envisaged, every attendee will be expected to provide his own travel support. However, reduced airline fares (from group travel) may be obtainable if sufficient numbers of persons are willing to travel together. 485

OPERATIONS RESEARCH AROUND THE WORLD MEETINGS

July 31 to August 25 of 1967

Through cooperation of The Insti tute of Management Sciences (TIMS), the Operations Research Society of Spain, the Operational Research Society of India, and the Operations Research Society of Japan, four coordinated meetings that extend around the world will be held in 1967. Although devoted primarily to scientific considerations, these meetings will also emphasize personal contacts among operations researchers of different nationalities. That is, the planning of meeting events will be oriented in this direction.

Tentatively, the schedule of the meetings is: (1) July 31 through August 3, Madrid, Spain (sponsored by the Operations Research Society of Spain). (2) August 7 through August 10, Delhi, India (sponsored by the Operational Research Society of India and the University of Delhi). (3) August 14 through August 17, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan (sponsored by the Operations Research Society of Japan). (4) August 22 through August 25, Mexico City, Mexico (the 14th International Meeting of TIMS).

Each meeting is the responsibility of its sponsor. However, there will be overall coordination among the meetings. Dr. John E. Walsh, System Development Corporation, Santa Monica, California, U.S.A. is the Coordinator and should be contacted for information about participation in one or more of these meetings. The programs and travel arrangements will, to a large ex- tent, be under the direction of the Coordinator.

All papers will be of an invited nature and of two lengths (long and short). Potential attendees are requested to send abstracts of papers to the Coordinator for consideration. Authors of suitable papers will then be invited to present their papers at meetings that they are able to attend. The end of 1966 is the deadline for submitting papers for consideration. Also, persons who are able to attend and are available to be session chairmen, discussants, panel members, etc. should contact the Coordinator within the next few months.

As currently envisaged, every attendee will be expected to provide his own travel support. However, reduced airline fares (from group travel) may be obtainable if sufficient numbers of persons are willing to travel together.
