We are pleased to announce the official launch of the PhD Student
Conference on Operational Research (SCOR 2018), now back for its sixth
instalment. We invite you to join us once again, at the beautiful
University of Nottingham campus the 6-8 April 2018.

PhD students from all Universities studying Operational Research,
Management Science or a related field are kindly invited to submit an
abstract for presentation at the conference. As some presenters may still
be on an early stage of in their careers, the work presented does not need
to be fully developed or thoroughly explored as of yet. The purpose of SCOR
2018 is to provide a friendly environment for the next generation of
Operational Researchers to receive constructive feedback on their work and
to meet people with similar interests.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:

Big Data & Analytics * Data Mining * Energy * Forecasting * Graphs /
Networks * Healthcare * Heuristics * Inventory * Mathematical Programming *
Multicriteria Decision Analysis * Neural Networks / Machine Learning *
Optimisation and Applications * Reliability / Risk Assessment * Scheduling
/ Timetabling * Stochastic Modelling * Supply Chain Management * Simulation
/ System Dynamics * Transport /Logistics.

Plenary talks will be given by various OR professionals undertaking a wide
range of exciting careers. This will give students an opportunity to
consider the many career paths available to them after completing their
doctorate.

Please note that abstract submission is now open.

Deadline for abstract (250 words) submission: Friday 2nd February 2018

A notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after this deadline. In
order to encourage a wide range of students to attend, an affordable
conference fee will cover accommodation, a full social program and full
catering provided.

Presenters are also invited to submit a paper (no more than 10 pages) on
their work to be published electronically as part of the SCOR 2018
proceedings. This will be available in the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in
Informatics (OASIcs). Paper submissions will undergo a selection process
based on refereeing by the Committee. This gives doctoral candidates a
chance to experience the peer-review process and to enhance their technical
writing skills. Although it is not mandatory, it is again, highly
recommended. To get an idea on the paper standards please visit the
SCOR2016 proceedings.
