Some of San Francisco’s many
landmarks are mobile.
Tony Bennett sang that he “left his heart in San
Francisco” – and at the 2014 INFORMS Annual Meeting in San Francisco, you will begin to understand
why as you take advantage of the opportunity to fill
both your heart and your mind. To fill your mind, you
can attend special presentations:
• Alvin Roth, professor of economics at Stanford
University and professor of economics and business administration at Harvard University who
was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics for
his work in the area of Game Theory, will talk about
his work.
• Richard Cottle, emeritus professor at Stanford
University, will offer a commemorative and historical
perspective on George Dantzig in honor of Dantzig’s
100th birthday.
• Jonathan Caulkins, professor at the Heinz School of
Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, will discuss
his work on health and drug-related policy issues.
