[DMANET] IFORS 2016 - OR in Sports

Call for sessions/papers within the stream "OR in Sports"
at the 21st IFORS Conference
July 17-21, 2017 in Quebec, Canada


We (Dries Goossens and James Cochran) are putting together a number of sessions on OR in Sports for the IFORS Meeting next July in Quebec City, Canada (more information about the conference can be found at http://ifors2017.ca).  We'd like to have a sports track covering various areas such as optimization, analytics, graph theory, mathematics, and statistics.

If you plan to present a paper within this stream (or if you want to organize a full session of 3-4 talks), please let us know (dries.goossens@ugent.be or jcochran@cba.ua.edu). We are glad to send you a session code such that you may submit your paper in an invited session. Note that the deadline for abstract submission is February 10, 2017.

Furthermore, if you are interested/involved in any quantitative research that is related to sports in a broad sense, you may want to enjoy a free membership of the "OR in Sports" working group (see orinsports.com). This group also maintains a list of conferences on OR/analytics and sports: http://orinsports.com/index.php/events/.


Best regards,
James and Dries
