INFORMS Simulation Society Business Meeting
INFORMS Annual Meeting
San Francisco, CA
November 13, 2005
Reported by Shane G. Henderson, secretary
Michael Fu gave an editor's report for Operations Research. Contributions are up again after a dip last year. He is completing his term this year, and was thanked. Shane Henderson will take this post as of 2006.
The chairs (or representatives thereof) of the awards committees all reported that there will be awards this year at WSC. (Shi, Goldsman, Schruben).
Dave Goldsman reported on WSC 05. Registrations are ahead of projections. He believes it is very likely that the WSC board will cover the PhD colloquium expense mentioned earlier.
Theresa Roeder reported on the committee for underrepresented minorities and women. She would like to obtain industry sponsorship to boost the awards. There was support for this idea, as long as overly commercial messages are avoided. There will be 20 participants at the PhD colloquium.
Barry Nelson has helped place past newsletters on the society webpage.
Russell Barton reported that we have candidates for the Spring 06 elections for society officers. Additional nominations are welcome. (Send to Susan Sanchez.)
A proposal was floated for an honorary lecture at the INFORMS national meeting. It was suggested that this person should be the recipient of the lifetime professional achievement award LPAA from the previous year. After some discussion, a general sense of support for 3 different proposals was solicited. There were approximately 20 in support of the honorary lecture at INFORMS being the LPAA recipient if available, or someone else if not. There was 1 in support of having both the LPAA recipient and another person give lectures. No-one voted against such a lecture. After some discussion, there were about 15 in support of some professionally active member giving such a lecture. A proposal will be given at the WSC business meeting.
After some discussion, separate motions to consider adding the PhD Colloquium committee and the CUMW committee to the list of standing committees passed. Bylaw revisions will be presented for a vote at the WSC business meeting.
In new business, Jim Wilson gave a report for the journal ACM TOMACS. Of 48 submissions, 10 have been accepted, 29 rejected and 6 withdrawn.
