On behalf of Australian Society for Operations Research (ASOR), I am pleased to invite members and non-members to the ASOR 20th National Conference incorporating the 5th International Intelligent Logistics Systems Conference.  Detail information about the conference can be found at the conference homepage http://www.asor.org.au/conf2009/

Dear member of the ORAFM working group,

during the EURO 2009 conference in Bonn we are organizing a stream on

OR in agriculture, forestry & natural resources.

We like to invite you to participate in the proposed session and are looking forward receiving your conference papers.

Warm regards and best wishes,

yours sincerely,

A summer school about OR in Agriculture and Forest Management will be held in Lleida, Spain, July 25th - August 8th 2009

Aims and Scope

Spanning the bridge between optimization theory and primary sector applications (mainly Agriculture and Forestry, but also Fisheries and Natural Resources in general) is one of the big challenges for the operations research community. Stochastic optimization and modern software implementations have become an indispensable resource in engineering sciences and economics. This high demand in interdisciplinary collaboration is, however, not adequately covered in most of the current curricula programs in applied mathematics or (agronomic/forest) engineering.

Aim of this EURO Summer Institute is to bring together young scientists with academic experts on OR methods besides the development of applications for Agriculture, Forestry and related industries of the primary sector. Read the rest of this entry »

The start of the next meeting of our working group is close. For information about sessions etc. see the OR50 website.

The next official meeting of the WG is going to be held at the UK Operation Research Society’s OR 50 conference in York 9-11 September 2008. Call for papers can be seen here.
