Call for Papers
Stochastic Modeling and Optimization
in Memory of András Prékopa (1929-2016)
a special issue of the Annals of Operations Research
This special issue is dedicated to the memory of Professor András Prékopa whose recent passing at age 87 is a great loss to the operations research community. Professor Prékopa is a towering figure of our profession, one of the founding fathers of stochastic optimization, who has published over 350 papers and 15 books, and received numerous distinctions, among them the INFORMS President’s Award (2014), the Khachiyan Prize (2012), the EURO Gold Medal (2003), as well as numerous state and society distinctions and prizes. He was a full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
The area of stochastic modeling and optimization has been experiencing rapid development in the last several decades. Experts in probability and statistics, optimization theory, simulation, and stochastic control have collaborated to create new models, new analytical techniques, and new numerical methods, with an associated multitude of applications.
We invite you to submit original research papers, surveys or case studies in all areas of stochastic modeling and optimization.
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2017.
