The next meeting in our series, MODEST 2008 Workshop, will take place on September 19th-20th, 2008, in Rembertów by Warsaw, within the campus of the National Defence Academy. It will be affiliated, traditionally, with the bi-annual conference of the Polish Operational and Systems Research Society (BOS 2008), which will take place on 18th-20th September. It should be noted that the very preliminary program of the BOS 2008 conference includes several planned sessions that may be of interest to our members, like a session devoted to the 60th anniversary of the RAND Corporation, or the traditionally held sessions devoted to multicriteria decision analysis and support.
The meeting will take place in a very nice environment of the campus of the National Defence Academy, with most of the buildings of this central campus dating from the 1920s and 1930s, surrounded by lush greenery. A trip to downtown Warsaw with a taxi will take some 30 minutes and the equivalent of around 20 €, while the same with a municipal bus – some 50-60 minutes and two tickets, i.e. roughly 1.5 €.
The fee envisaged is quite low (190 € or 220 €, depending upon when you pay), and there is a possibility of a truly cheap accommodation in the campus hostel on place (which can be invoiced along with participation fee, if you so wish).
As always, we plan to publish the papers from the MODEST Workshop. The concrete form of this publication depends upon the number and quality of papers presented and prepared for the publication. Thus, a minimum is a part of the volume from the BOS 2008 conference (the proceedings from BOS conferences are usually published in two-three volumes, one of them in English), while the maximum is a separate volume, with its own title and affiliation to MODEST.
Along with this Newsletter issue you will obtain the Registration Form for this meeting. Both the Newsletter and the Registration Form can be seen and loaded from the MODEST website, http://www.ibspan.waw.pl/ptbois/modest
