Topics of interest include: Operations Research/Computer Science or Operations Research/Artificial Intelligence interface (defined as you wish); sessions relevant to the Atlanta meeting's theme of "International Business Logistics"; and sessions that involve persons who do not ordinarily attend INFORMS meetings.
If you would like to chair a session, please send your name, contact information and a session title by Sept. 15, 1995, to Robert Fourer (vice chair, CSTS), Dept. of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences, Northwestern University, 2225 North Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60208-3119; Phone: (708) 491-3151; Fax: (708) 491-8005; E-mail: 4er@iems.nwu.edu

The objectives of the prize are: To promote the development of high-quality work advancing the state of the art in the operations research/computer science interface; to publicize and reward the contributions of those authors/researchers who have advanced the state of the art; and to increase the visibility of excellent work in the field.
