Rodriguez Chia) The Annals of Operations Research seeks submissions for a special volume on ORP3-OR for young researchers and practitioners. This volume of the Annals of Operations Research is devoted to stimulate research activity of young researchers in all areas of Operations Research. Therefore, this issue is conceived, but not only, to gather selected papers presented at ORP3 conference together with any others including at least one young author (papers can be coauthored with senior researchers). ORP3 is the EURO peripatetic conference designed for young OR researchers and practitioners which objective is to promote scientific and social exchanges. For more details see http://orp3.uca.es/ All papers will follow the high standard refereeing process of Annals of Operations Research. The Annals of Operations Research publish peer-reviewed original articles dealing with key aspects of operations research, including theory, practice, and computation. Instructions for authors can be found at: http://www.springer.com/business/operations+research/journal/10479 Guest editors: Justo Puerto, Antonio M. Rodríguez-Chía and Arie Tamir Deadline: December 31, 2011. ------------------------------------------------------------- Thierry Champion -- Laboratoire Imath -- Université du Sud Toulon-Var page personnelle: http://champion.univ-tln.fr
