Report on the Simulation Area for Operations Research
Shane G. Henderson, Operations Research Simulation Area Editor, February 12, 2010
The Associate Editors working primarily on simulation papers continue to be Steve Chick, Peter Haas, Tito Homem-de-Mello, Jeff Hong and Seong-Hee Kim. Next time you see them, please buy them a drink - they deserve it! For the period specified, there were 10 new submissions and 7 resubmissions. There were 7 rejections, 9 revise-and-resubmit decisions and 3 acceptances. Of the editorial decisions made in this period, 2 were late (between 4 and 6 months from date of submission) and none were very late. The simulation area of Operations Research looks for significant work in simulation modeling, methodology and applications that advance the knowledge and practice of simulation. In addition to the traditional research areas, we welcome contributions that develop the interface of simulation with other methodological areas, e.g., optimization and applied probability, and with application areas, e.g., service industries like healthcare and financial engineering, manufacturing, and business dynamics. In general, papers should be of interest to a broad O.R. audience, and not just to the simulation community, although we certainly welcome papers that represent major theoretical progress. Please submit papers electronically via the Manuscript Central O.R. Web site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/opre).
