Apologies for cross-posting
The Canadian Operations Research Society (CORS) Queueing and Applied Probability Special Interest Group (SIG) is pleased to announce the 11th annual student prize competition, to be awarded at the CORS Annual Conference.
The submission deadline for this year's competition is March 6, 2023. Please send your submission to selection committee chair Dr. Tim Huh tim.huh@sauder.ubc.ca
Instructions:
Students should submit a copy of their paper, plus a letter from their supervisor attesting to their pivotal role and contributions to the results.
Requirements:
The competition is for the best student-led paper submitted to a refereed publication, either a journal or the proceedings of a conference. Papers entered in the competition must have already been submitted by December 31, 2022. Papers do not need to be published at the time of submission; however, a letter indicating acceptance or soliciting a revision may be submitted along with the paper, as supplementary evidence of its merit. Papers that have appeared in print prior to 2022 will not be considered. A student may submit only one paper for consideration in any year.
Eligibility:
Eligibility is restricted to: (i) full-time students (either at a Canadian institution or a Canadian studying outside of Canada) in good standing who do not yet hold their degree on the application deadline and (ii) students who are not previous recipients of a CORS Queueing SIG student prize; (iii) the topic of the paper should be aligned with the interest of the Queueing and Applied Probability SIG. That means all papers with a significant stochastic component (even if without queueing) are eligible for this competition.
Application deadline:
March 6, 2023, 11:59PM EST.
Judging:
Work will be judged by a three-member committee: Dr. Tim Huh (Chair), Dr. Ningyuan Chen, and Dr. Yichuan Ding. All applications and questions should be sent to tim.huh@sauder.ubc.ca
