Short notes
International Conference on Operations Research 2024 in Munich
The International Conference on OperationsResearch 2024 in Munich brought together over 700 researchers and industry leaders who shared their latest insights in Operations Research, Management Science, Data Science, and Analytics.
The three plenary talks were delivered by Dolores Romero Morales (Professor of Operations Research, Copenhagen Business School) on "Fairness and Transparency in AI: An OR Perspective", Paul Klemperer (Edgeworth Professor of Economics, University of Oxford) on "Multiproduct Auction Design", and Paul Bixby (Advisor and Co-founder Gurobi GmbH) on "History of Computational Progress in LP and MIP".
Semi-plenary talks were given by Axel Parmentier (Professor and Chairholder of the AI for the Air Transport Industry Research Chair, École nationale des ponts et chaussées), Tarkan Tan (Professor and Chairholder of the Chair of Sustainable Operations Management, University of Zurich), Mathias Goebelt (SAP), Stein W. Wallace (Professor of Operational Research and Leader of the Centre for Shipping and Logistics, Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) Bergen), Angelika Wiegele (Professor of Mathematics, University of Klagenfurt), Victor Martinez de Albeniz (Professor of Operations, Information and Technology, IESE Business School), Carolina Osorio (Professor and Chairholder of the Scale AI Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Urban Mobility and Logistics, HEC Montréal, Google Research), and Anthony Papavasiliou (Assistant Professor, National Technical University of Athens).
Attendees participated in hands-on workshops and sessions, including "Modeling and Solving Routing Problems" with Léa Blaise and Julien Darlay, and "Gurobi under the Hood" with Robert Luce.
The conference also celebrated excellence by recognizing the winners of the GOR PhD, Company, Master's Thesis, and Young Researcher Awards. PhD students engaged in the Dokt!OR program, which featured panels on career development and publishing in leading academic journals.
Beyond the academic content, participants experienced the local culture through a Bavarian reception at Augustiner Bräustuben, complete with traditional food and music, and a memorable conference dinner overlooking the Olympic Games 1972 site. Excursions to the BMW plant, the historic Spaten Brewery, and the stunning Nymphenburg Palace added to the rich cultural experience in Munich.

Congratulations to Mahsa Nakhost for receiving the ISIR Best Student Paper Award 2024
Congratulations to Mahsa Abbaszadeh Nakhost, research assistant at the TUM Chair of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, who received the ISIR Best Student Paper Award for her paper "Inventory Transshipment for Promotional Products with Non-Stationary Demand and Updating," co-authored by Gudrun Kiesmüller and Stefan Minner.
The paper addresses the challenges of inventory transshipment for promotional products in the retail industry. The study introduces a novel approach using Bayesian methodology and a non-homogeneous Poisson Process to balance the trade-off between delaying transshipment for more information and acting early to maximize sales.
The research demonstrates significant profit improvements by accurately modeling demand and optimizing transshipment timing.
The award was presented at the 22nd International Symposium on Inventories in Budapest by the International Society for Inventory Research.
Congratulations to Mahsa for this remarkable achievement! We are incredibly proud to have outstanding students like her who are internationally recognized for their excellence.
