Subject: Developing Countries, Resources online, 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.

"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. IFORS 2020 will be celebrated in Seoul, South Korea
(http://www.ifors2020.kr/).

Subject: New Book, Theory and Num Approx of Fractional Integrals and Derivatives


Theory and Numerical Approximations of Fractional Integrals and
Derivatives
By Changpin Li and Min Cai

Fractional calculus has gained momentum in industry and academia, and
this monograph is the first to include both fundamental information on
fractional calculus and a detailed treatment of existing numerical
approximations. It presents an inclusive review of fractional calculus
in terms of theory and numerical methods and systematically examines
almost all existing numerical approximations for fractional integrals
and derivatives. The authors consider the relationship between the
fractional Laplacian and the Riesz derivative, a key component absent
from other related texts, and highlight recent developments, including
their own research and results.

The Organizing and Program Committees for IFORS 2020 welcome all
operations researchers to attend the 22nd Conference of the
International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS)
(http://www.ifors2020.kr/).

The IFORS 2020 conference will highlight global developments in
Operations Research and show how the tools of Operations Research are
expanding their impact on society, health, science and industry.
IFORS conferences, held only once every three years, provide a
platform for experts from around the world to showcase the diverse
potential of state-of-the-art Operations Research techniques and
technologies. IFORS 2020 offers a unique opportunity to network with
Operations Research analysts, industrial users of Operations Research,
and academic and industry experts from all parts of the globe.

This is the first IFORS conference to be held in Asia since the 15th
conference in China 20 years ago. It is thus an exciting opportunity to
bring together Operations Researchers from the field in Asia, where it
has experienced vigorous and rapid growth, with colleagues from all
regions of the world.
