    Dear Colleagues,

    The Engineering Economy Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Engineering Economy Track at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2022. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2022 will continue to integrate research and industry applications under one conference.

    As track chairs of the Engineering Economy Track, we encourage you to contribute to the conference and track by submitting a 250-word abstract or presentation summary. Authors will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be available on the conference website and can be cited. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing this material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).  Abstracts and presentation summaries are welcome in the following areas:

    • Asset Management
    • Capital Investment Analysis
    • Financial Engineering
    • Cost/Benefit Analysis
    • Prices and Portfolios
    • Real Options
    • Life-Cycle Cost Assessment/Management
    • Energy and Engineering Economy
    • Value Chain Management
    • Technology Replacement Management
    • Engineering Economy Education
    • Entrepreneurship and Innovation
    • Economics of Supply Chain Management
    • Analytics in Engineering Economy
    • Other areas in economic and investment analysis

    We encourage submissions that demonstrate results from university-industry collaborations and applications of emerging technologies and methods

    Authors of accepted abstracts and presentation summaries will be invited to present their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presenters. 

    We strongly encourage all presenters to submit a paper for publication so discoveries can be permanently documented.  This year, two types of papers will be considered: research papers and case study papers. 

    • Research papers (with a limit of six pages) contain methods and results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering community. They will undergo a double-blind peer review process and accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the Conference Proceedings via ProQuest.
    • Case study papers (of two to six pages) describe the application of a method or technology that addresses an important industry-motivated issue. They will be reviewed to ensure that the content focuses on the value and lessons learned for the industrial and systems engineering community.  The case study papers should avoid significant marketing material.  Accepted manuscripts will be published with access via the IISE website. 

    We will also hold a best track paper competition. Authors of six-page papers will be given the opportunity to participate in this competition without having to publish that paper in the proceedings and thus without releasing its copyright. The Engineering Economy Track has two awards judged among the paper submissions: division best paper and student best paper awards (review eligibility requirements). All accepted and eligible papers will be reviewed and evaluated for these awards. First-place winners will receive framed certificates and their names will be listed in the Honors & Awards program.

    Important deadlines:

    • Submission deadline for abstract/presentation summary: November 1, 2021
    • Notification of decision on abstract/presentation summary: December 6, 2021
    • Paper submission deadline: January 20, 2022

    (Paper submission is optional but encouraged.)              

    • Speaker registration deadline: January 20, 2022

    (Applies to all accepted speakers not submitting a paper for review.)

    • Notification of decision on paper: March 1, 2022
    • Presenting author registration deadline: March 7, 2022

    (Applies to all remaining speakers.)

    • Paper final revision submission deadline: March 14, 2022

    Presenters submitting an abstract or presentation summary only (without a paper) must register by January 20, 2022. Presenters submitting a paper for consideration are granted an extended registration deadline of March 7, 2022. All presenters must register for the conference to avoid having their presentations/papers withdrawn from the program and the proceedings. The presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference.

    We look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
