Invitation

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, I am delighted to invite you to participate in the 19^th Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS2011) which will be hosted by the Victorian chapter of the Australian Society for Operations Research (ASOR).

IFORS2011 will be held in Melbourne from 10-15 July 2011 at the new Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and will bring together operational researchers from around the globe for this major international event in operational research.

The Scientific Program will be extensive and diverse with an impressive list of academics and practitioners sharing their knowledge, experience and insights on theory, methodology and application of operational research to issues of vital concern to the global community.

Melbourne is a dynamic city of 3.8 million people and is one of Australia's most exciting destinations. A large modern city with a rich heritage, it bustles and pumps with a unique fusion of culture, cuisine and beauty. It's also Australia's sporting capital and the heartland of the nation's fashion industry. The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is perfectly located right on the Yarra River in the heart of Melbourne and provides easy access to all of Melbourne's attractions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne for IFORS2011.

Dr Patrick Tobin
Chair, Organising Committee, IFORS2011
