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.

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.
