Tutorial Sessions

The introductory activity programmed to be held before the symposium, a two day tutorial sessions for students and young researchers, will no longer be part of the program. We decided to incorporate all presentations into the Conference and concentate our efforts in creating good opportunities to facilitate discussion, analysis and networking among the invited speakers, attendees and students. We apologize we did not inform this before and hope it will not cause problems in your trip.

We expect to receive a variety of contributions. Please send an abstract by September 30th. You will receive an answer regarding acceptance at the symposium on October 30th.

Objectives

The objective of the symposium is to congregate researchers and practitioners in the area of Operations Research and Systems Analysis in Forest Resources.

Topics of interest in the meeting include: strategic forest planning, operational and tactical planning, environmental issues, fire and pests, spatial problems, hierarchical problems, forest operations, forest supply chain, multiple objectives, uncertainty, GIS and information technologies, algorithmic developments, exact methods, heuristics and metaheuristics.

We will also invite speakers to present on topics such as sustainability, economics of sustainability, wood for energy, carbon capturing, landscape ecology and growth/yield modeling.
