Subject: Online resources for Developing Countries, IFORS

The aim of the IFORS Developing Countries Online Resources page is to

offer the OR worker all publicly-available materials on the topic of

OR for Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are

working in the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn

from others, and stimulate comments and discussions on the work.

Regarding IFORS Developing Countries OR resources website, its regular

updates - and your possible submission of "free" (not copyright

protected) material, you might occasionally visit

http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page.



With this open resources page we aim to make research and application

results better accessible to the many friends in the Developing

Countries. We would be glad about interest.



"Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced

analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques

such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to

analyze complex situations, Operational Research gives executives the

power to make more effective decisions and build more productive

systems.



The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS;

http://ifors.org/) is an almost 60-year old organization which is

currently composed of 51 national societies. Regional Groups of IFORS

are: ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations

Research), APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational

Research Societies), EURO (The Association of European Operational

Research Societies), NORAM (The Association of North American

Operations Research Societies). IFORS conferences are taking place

every three years. On IFORS 2020, Seoul, South Korea, please refer to

Although this year's Copper Mountain Conference on Iterative Methods

(CMCIM) was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemia, the traditional

Special Section of SIAM Journal on ScientificComputing is still

planned.  The section will be dedicated to recent progress in

iterative methods.  Submissions are encouraged in all aspects of

iterative methods, including this year's highlighted topics:

Asynchronous iterative solvers; Eigenvalue and singular value methods

and applications; Inverse problems, regularization; Iterative

Applications: earth systems; Iterative Applications: energy; Iterative

Applications: fluids; Iterative Applications: electromagnetics;

Iterative Applications: imaging; Solvers at extreme scale & on high

concurrency node architectures; Iterative solvers and machine

learning; Iterative solvers in data science and engineering;

Optimization of complex problems & Systems; Multilevel solvers;

Multigrid methods for partially structured grids; Nonlinear solvers;

Randomized iterative solvers and preconditioners; Rank-structured

solvers and preconditioners; Robust & scalable iterative solution of

coupled multi-physics problems; Solvers for indefinite systems;

Surrogate modeling & model reduction; Uncertainty quantification, PDEs

with random data.



As in the past, the special section is open to submission from the

general scientificcommunity. The papers should meet the formatting and

editorial requirements of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing.



Page limit policy: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing has a page

limit policy of approximately 20 journal pages. This limit can be

exceeded if the referees and editor are convinced that a longer paper

is required; however, due to total size restrictions, papers longer

than 25 pages will not be considered for publication in the special

section.



Submissions for the special section will be accepted from April 1

through June 15, 2020. Papers will be subject to review by a guest

Editorial Board comprising the current CMCIM scientific committee

members plus other guest editors to be confirmed. Between these dates,

all interested can submit a manuscript and cover letter in PDF format

via the online submission site at http://sisc.siam.org.  Note the

block labeled Section (just under the keywords block on your

submission screen) and select "Special Section" from the dropdown

box. Directly below this is a block labeled Special Section, where you

will want to select "Copper Mountain Special Section 2020" from the

dropdown.
