*IFORS 2017 - Call for invited sessions - OR in Healthcare
*


Dear Colleague,

As you may know, IFORS 2017, the 21th Conference of the International
Federation of Operational Research Societies, will be held in Quebec,
Canada, from July 17 to 21, 2017 (http://ifors2017.ca/).

As organisers of the stream "OR in healthcare" we would like to
cordially invite you to organise a session on associated topics.
Manifestations of interest should be sent to ana.viana@inesctec.pt and
joana@fe.uc.pt, with an indication of the topic to be addressed in that
session and name(s) of the organiser(s). After acceptance of the topic,
session organisers will be contacted with additional information
regarding the abstract submission process.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Ana Viana
Joana Matos Dias

Title: Free Search - in multidimensional space M*+
Abstract: Multidimensional tasks with thousands parameters, seems to be an
embarrassing challenge for modern computational systems in terms of
software abilities and hardware capacity. Presented study focuses on
evaluation of thousands dimensional heterogeneous real-value numerical tests.
*In roman numerical system M = 1000 in decimal numerical system.
