    Dear colleagues,

    The aim of the IFORS Developing Countries On-Line Resources page is to
    offer the OR worker all publicly-available materials on the topic of
    OR for Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are
    working in the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn
    from others, and stimulate comments and discussions on the work.

    Regarding IFORS Developing Countries OR resources website, its regular
    updates - and your possible submission of "free" (not copyright protected)
    material, you might occasionally visit

    http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page.


    "Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced
    analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques
    such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to
    analyze complex situations, Operational Research gives executives the
    power to make more effective decisions and build more productive
    systems.

    The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS;
    http://ifors.org/) is an almost 60-year old organization which is
    currently composed of 51 national societies.

    Regional Groups of IFORS are:

    ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research),
    APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies),
    EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies),
    NORAM (The Association of North American Operations Research Societies).

    IFORS conferences are taking place every three years; IFORS 2017 has just
    been successfully celebrated in Quebec City, Canada.


    Thank you very much for your attention.

    With kind regards,
    best wishes,
