Decision Analysis Student Paper Award
Submission deadline: July 1, 2006
The Student Paper Award is given annually to the best decision analysis paper by a student author, as judged by a panel of the Decision Analysis Society of INFORMS. Students who did not complete their Ph.D. prior to May 1, 2005 are eligible for this year’s competition.
The award is accompanied by a plaque and a $500 honorarium. The award will be presented and the winner will also be invited to briefly present his or her paper at the INFORMS Annual Meeting held in Pittsburgh, PA, November 5-8, 2006.
If you are a faculty member who is supervising students, please inform them of this opportunity. If your students are not currently members of DAS, you might also encourage them to join. If you are a student reading this, please encourage your classmates to submit a paper and to join the society. DAS is a congenial organization of about 700 members, of which nearly 20% are students. Joining DAS provides a good start toward developing a professional identity. (Please see our membership page for information on how to join.) However, students do not need to be DAS members to be eligible for the competition.
All students doing work in or related to decision analysis (e.g., decision methodologies, experimental studies, and applications) are encouraged to submit a paper. The work must be predominately that of the student, though faculty members or other mentors can be co-authors if appropriate. The paper should be 30 pages or less (double spaced and 12 point font) and in the standard format of Management Science or Operations Research.
To be considered for the this year’s competition, please submit an electronic version of your paper (either MS Word file or PDF format) to the committee co-chairs at the address given below. The deadline for submission is July 1.
