Community Prizes and Awards

The Analytics Society of INFORMS sponsors three awards to recognize innovative applications in analytics, to bring attention to critical problems pertaining to the challenge of feeding the earth's growing population and to support women pursuing graduate degrees in operations research or analytics.

Application of probability theory to systems that involve random phenomena, for example, manufacturing, communication network, computer network, service, and financial systems. The society promotes the development and use of methods for the improvement of evaluation, control, and design of these systems.

Encourages the development and dissemination of applications and research in areas relating to aviation, including but not limited to airline planning and operations, air traffic control, airport planning, aviation financial, economic and policy analysis, aviation forecasting,and aviation human factors.

Developing of research into behavioral dynamics in operations management modeling, policy prescription, and practice.

Recognizes outstanding contributions to the theory or practice of OR/MS made by young, active members of the Chapter. Scholars aged 35 and younger who have received their terminal degree are eligible.

This competition is one of the most prestigious available to doctoral students studying organizations.

Promote and disseminate research and applications among professionals interested in theory, methodologies, and applications in data mining and knowledge discovery.

The Decision Analysis Society has awards recognizing excellent student contributions, outstanding publications, and exciting DA Practice. They also have a distinguished contributions award recognizing career achievements.

Every year, ENRE awards a number of prizes to recognise outstanding academic contributions in the field of Operations Research & Management Science with applications in energy, natural resources and the environment.

Foster, promote, and disseminate research on the use and impact of information technology in organizations.

Algorithms and software for modeling, optimization, and simulation. Leading edge of computing and how it affects O.R. (e.g. XML modeling standards, O.R. services offered over the web, open source software, constraint programming, massively parallel computing, high performance computing).

Encourage research among junior faculty and to increase the visibility of research conducted by junior faculty within the fields of operations research and management science.

Enhancement and dissemination of knowledge, and the efficiency of industrial practice, related to the operations function in manufacturing and service enterprises. The methods whichMSOMmembers apply in order to help the operations function add value to products and services are derived from a wide range of scientific fields.

Foster the development, dissemination, and implementation of knowledge, basic and applied research, and science and technologies that improve the understanding and practice of marketing.

Advance research in global defense-related topics, including military operations, governmental operations and security, and nation support.

一种增加未被充分代表的少数民族within the OR/MS profession is to highlight the up and coming professionals of tomorrow. Since 2004, MIF has sponsored the travel of underrepresented minority doctoral students close to finishing and showcased their research through a poster session given in conjunction with the MIF’s welcoming reception at the INFORMS Annual Meeting.
