Additional Resources

This page includes resources that don't fit naturally under any of the existing SU centers. Suggested additions are welcome.

Other OR/MS Societies

Many of INFORMS' Liaison Societies also have useful information (their publications, job opportunities, conferences, etc.). The Guide to OR/MS Societies provides pointers to their offerings.

The following are some resources suggested by other professional societies.

AIS (Association for Information Systems)

• A Business Researcher's Interests, although oriented to researchers, academics and practitioners dealing with organizational issues in information systems, this excellent site has collected a great amount of online information on topics ranging from intranets to knowledge management, from electronic commerce to virtual organization, and from business process reengineering to intellectual property. It would probably be of interest to any business school student.

ASA (American Statistical Association)

• List of Undergraduate Textbooks, with reviews.

IFORS (International Federation of Operational Research Societies)

• EURO (Association of European Operational Research Societies)
• The OR Society in UK

ISWorld Net

• Undergraduate and Graduate Courses in Information Systems

SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics)

• Link to Computing Research Association, an association of more than 200 North American academic departments of computer science, computer engineering and related fields; laboratories in industry, government and academia engaging in basic computing research; and affiliated professional societies. The website includes:
  • CRA Forsythe List, a complete listing of Ph.D. granting CS&E programs in North America.
  • CRA Taulbee Survey, a principal source of information on the production and employment of Ph.D.s and faculty in computer science and computer engineering in North America. It provides salary and demographic data for faculty in CS & CE in North America.
  • Historical Trends in Computer Science: 1975-91, some historical data, like degree production in the last three decades, may be useful for evaluating long-term trends.

• sci.op-research. The newsgroup for operations research.
• INFORMS Resources, maintained by Michael A. Trick.
• Omega Rho. The international honor society for operations research, management science, and related areas.
