Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing the stream "Prescriptive Analytics in Operations Management" at the upcoming IFORS 2026 conference, taking place 12–17 July 2026 in Vienna, Austria.
The stream aims to bring together researchers working at the intersection of operations management, optimization, and data-driven decision-making. We particularly welcome research that develops or applies prescriptive analytics methods to support operational decisions in complex, data-rich environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data-driven optimization and decision-focused learning
- Predict-then-optimize and integrated prediction–decision frameworks
- Robust and distributionally robust optimization
- Reinforcement learning and AI methods for operational decision-making
- Supply chain analytics and logistics optimization
- Pricing, revenue management, and marketplace design
- Transportation, mobility, and service operations
- Healthcare operations and other emerging OM applications
We warmly invite you to join us by:
Organizing a session (as a session chair)
Giving a talk (as a contributing speaker)
