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 Workshop on Operations Research for Global Logistics emphasizes operations research models and techniques for global logistics involving Africa. Interaction between Africa and the rest of the world, whether in the form of trade or tourism, requires efficient logistics just as much as interaction between other parts of the world. In addition, logistics is a particularly important requirement for development in Africa.
The workshop is a joint effort involving the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa, and the National Science Foundation.
