MORS Education
Colloquium 2000
4-5 April 2000
The MITRE Corporation
1820 Dolley Madison Boulevard, McLean, Virginia 22102
Dear Colleague:
On 4-5 April 2000, the Military Operations Research Society (MORS) will hold its annual Education Colloquium at The MITRE Corporation, 1820 Dolley Madison Boulevard, McLean, Virginia 22102, in the Westgate building. The goal of the Colloquium is to involve those individuals who represent the collective interests of military OR, including MORS Sponsors, educators, and managers of military and civilian career programs, in the continuing education of the military OR profession. As in previous years, we will continue to place special emphasis on our junior analysts and their participation in this event.
Consistent with this year’s MORS theme of "Expanding the Sciences," the Colloquium will focus on the interdisciplinarity of our profession and explore the applicability of soft OR methods to the practice of military OR. Short tutorials will be given on selected soft OR methods and examples in which these methods have been used in military applications will be presented. The second day of the Colloquium will feature the traditional session on military OR education and will examine new issues, such as the applicability of soft OR approaches. As always, our mission is to provide MORS members and non-members exposure to relevant MORS topics in an environment of learning and knowledge exchange.
You are invited to participate in this special educational meeting. Attendance at the Colloquium is free and open to all operations research analysts. Participants can review read-ahead materials provided on the MORS web page at http://www.mors.org. Box lunches will be available on both days of the Colloquium at a cost of $8.00 each day. Please order your lunches on the application form and include lunch fees with your registration.
