Algorithmic Methods for Optimizing the Railways in Europe. An EU Research Training Network with participating research groups from Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Studies artificial systems that take inspiration from the behavior of real ant colonies and which are used to solve discrete optimization problems.

Aids communication between decision science practitioners.

The Association of European Operational Research Societies

Federation of European Simulation Societies, a forum for regional and national simulation societies to promote the advancement of modelling and simulation in industry, research and development.

International Federation Of Operational Research Societies

The Institute of Industrial Engineers.

INFORMS represents professionals in the fields of operations research and the management sciences (OR/MS), and in related fields such as information technology.

An international organization dedicated to the promotion and the maintenance of high professional standards in the subject of mathematical programming. It publishes the journals Mathematical Programming A and B, consisting of technical articles on all aspects of the subject; the MPS/SIAM Series on Optimization, comprising monographs and texts on particular optimization topics; and the newsletter Optima. Every three years the Society sponsors the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming. Every other year it supports the Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization (IPCO). It awards a number of the most prestigious prizes in the field. The Society also sponsors and supports other meetings and activities in mathematical programming throughout the world.

Provides training, conferences, publications and information to those working in Operational Research. Features study groups, regional societies, training, publications, conferences and news.

A nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research analysis.
