We encourage submissions that satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (a) operations research (OR) is applied to a computer science (CS) problem; (b) CS is applied to an OR problem; (C) results are drawn from both OR and CS;and/or (d) results enter uncharted areas that have the potential of advancing OR and/or CS and are in their interfaces. The figure below illustrates CS areas that can be applied to OR problems, and OR areas that can be applied to CS problems.

MAY 1, 1991-Submit four copies of contributed papers that have not previously been published or presented. All submitted papers must be relevant to the conference theme and cover new developments in the interfaces of Computer Science and Operations Research. Full-length papers are required. Each submitted paper: (1) must have an abstract and a list of key words; (2) must be typed by using 12-point Times-Roman font; and (3) must not exceed 25 doubles-spaces pages in length. AUGUST 15, 1991-Receive notification of presentation acceptance. NOVEMBER 1, 1991-Provide camera-ready copies of papers accepted for publication in the book. Submission of papers or proposals implies that the author will attend the conference at his or her own expense if the submission is accepted. For further information regarding the conference, please contact General Chairman Osman Balci.
