Welcome to the Melbourne Chapter of the Australian Society for Operations Research (ASOR)! We are always looking for new members, so ... if you are not a member of this chapter, join us! We are especially in a permanent need for student members (free membership). We plan to have an exciting Monthly Lecture Program this year! Our chapter hosted the 19th Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS), at the brand new Melbourne Convention Centre, July 10-15, 2011. More than 1000 delegates from all over the world attended this conference. As you can imagine, this was a major project, so we were ... very busy!
