The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) are jointly sponsoring A virtual workshop to create a joint vision for fusing the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) communities to be held on September 23-24th, 2021. 

This workshop focuses on exploiting the synergies of the AI and OR communities to transform decision making. The goal of this workshop is to establish a joint strategic vision for AI/OR that will maximize the societal impact of AI and OR in a world that is bound to undergo significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, widening inequalities, and challenges in resilience and sustainability in the food-water-energy nexus.

This workshop is the first in a three-part series to provide a stepping stone for a strong and sustained collaboration between the two fields. The respective goals of each workshop are: (1) articulating a strategic vision; (2) Implementing a strategic vision: and (3) Progressing the strategic vision.
