Please consider nominating a paper that was published in 2018 for the Koopman Award. This is a $500 award for the best published paper or report on military and security operations research topics directly related to the goals of MAS. The award honors the memory of Bernard Koopman (1900-1981), who was a pioneer in the field of operations research. He was active in the founding of the Operations Research Society of America (ORSA), later merged with TIMS to form INFORMS, and served as its president in 1956. The Koopman Prize is awarded annually at the MAS Business meeting during the INFORMS Annual Meeting.
Papers can be nominated by any member. Authors may submit their own paper. Electronic submissions are preferred. However, if paper copies of the work are sent, then four copies must be sent. The work must include complete citations or documentation so that it is clear that it was published during the previous calendar year. (Submissions for the 2019 prize must have been published in 2018.)
Submit your nominations to the Committee Chair (Andy Hall, Andrew.Hall@westpoint.edu or call 845-667-7135) by July 1, 2019. The award will be presented at the Annual INFORMS Conference in Seattle, WA.
