Welcome to the second appearance of the practitioners' page, which we're still trying to make into a regular department in OR/MS Today. (The first, in case you missed it, appeared in October.)
If you're coming to San Diego for the national meetings in May, plan to attend the Edelman Prize competition and the practice track sessions. The full description of the finalists' projects appeared in the February issue of OR/MS Today. These presentations are not only descriptions of excellent technical problem-solving, but also good examples of how to present technical material to management.
Let us know how CPMS is doing! Do the practice track sessions, the Edelman Prize competition, and the practitioners' workshops really help you? Do you like this page? Are there other things you wish someone would do? Or are you just delighted with whatever journals and conference announcements you get?
One thing we thought you might like is good stories about the real world -- and maybe you have one or more of your own to share. For this issue, CPMS Chair Howard Finkelberg submitted the winning entry. Send me yours! I'm on e-mail at [email protected]
