Oct. 19-20, 1999: Thirty-eighth Annual U.S. Operations Research Symposium (AORS XXXVIII) in Fort Lee, Va. The U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity is sponsoring this symposium, which is expected to draw some 200 government, academic and industrial leaders. The theme of this year's symposium is "Reshaping Army OR for the 21st Century Operational Challenge." Concurrent special sessions will cover the following areas: force development/modernization/requirements; C4ISR and information warfare; logistics systems; manpower, personnel and training systems; joint and combined operational analysis; advances in modeling and simulation; and test, evaluation and experimentation support to army modernization. In addition to the seven special sessions, the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) will conduct two tutorials covering "Data Mining" and "OR Modeling in Spreadsheets."
