There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
The Atlanta Chapter of INFORMS, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, will meet on Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 6:00 PM at the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. A reception will precede the meeting at 5:30.
Southern Company uses coal to generate much of the electricity that we all use, and John Harris of that company will speak on their use of Operations Research techniques to improve use of the railcars that are used to move it around the south.
The meeting is open to all interested parties, and is free of charge. Refreshments will be served, and there will also be time to network with fellow OR professionals in the Atlanta community. Please pass this email along to any associates whom you think might be interested.
The meeting will be in the Executive Classroom (Room 228) of the ISyE Main Entrance Bldg. (755 Ferst Drive, formerly the Dupree School of Management Building). (Same location as previous recent meetings.)
Here's a link to a map of the campus: http://www.isye.gatech.edu/visitors/maps/
There is plenty of (no longer free) parking next to the ISyE building.
We look forward to seeing you there. Please contact me if you have questions or suggestions, or if you wish to be added to / removed from the mailing list for future meetings.
