The purpose of the 1st International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems (ICORES) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in the field of operations research. Two simultaneous tracks will be held, covering on one side domain independent methodologies and technologies and on the other side practical work developed in specific application areas.
ICORES focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Operations Research Methodologies and Technologies for industry and services, either in general or for particular applications. Ideas on how to solve business problems, using operations research methodologies and technologies, will arise from the conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, case studies, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICORES. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific
topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial
are invited to contact the conference secretariat.
Each of these tracks is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics,
although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the
following main tracks:
1. METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES
2. APPLICATIONS

All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
A short list of the best presented papers will be published in a special issue of The Open Operational Research Journal entitled OR METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES IN DECISION MAKING.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index).
