EstudIO
Continuing the initiative carried out in previous editions, in the 2018 edition of the Operations Research Portuguese Association Congress there will be a session dedicated to EstudIO, this year counting with the support of SISCOG. One of the papers presented in this session will be selected as the best EstudIO paper. The author of the selected paper will receive a diploma in the Congress closing session.
We would like to invite all the IO2018 participants to be present at the EstudIO session, and be an active part in the best paper selection process. Each participant in the session will be able to vote in his/her favorite paper. The two most voted papers will be the candidates for the best paper award, that will be selected by a committee composed by Joana Dias, Ana Moura and Maria João Alves.
