[Opt-Net] Final call for INFORMS Optimization Society Prize Nominations: Due July 15

[Jim Luedtke]

The INFORMS Optimization Society awards four prizes annually at the INFORMS
annual meeting. We seek nominations (including self-nominations) for each
of them, due by July 15, 2015. Each of the four awards includes a cash
amount of US$1,000 and a citation plaque. 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 Philadelphia, PA in November
2015 (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, follow the given link to find eligibility
information and instructions on the nomination process.  Nominations and
