[Opt-Net] Last Call for INFORMS Optimization Society Prize Nominations, due June 30, 2013

[Jim Luedtke]

The INFORMS Optimization Society awards four prizes annually at the INFORMS
annual meeting. We seek nominations for each of them, due by June 30, 2013.
Each of the four awards includes a cash amount of US$1,000 and a citation
certificate. The award winners will be invited to give a presentation in a
special session sponsored by the Optimization Society during the INFORMS
annual meeting in Minneapolis, MN in October 2013 (the winners will be
responsible for their own travel expenses to the meeting).  Award winners
are also asked to contribute an article about their award-winning work to
the annual Optimization Society newsletter.  The four awards are listed
below with links to more information about them.  For each award,
nominations and inquiries should be sent directly via email to the chair of
the corresponding prize committee.
