IEOR@IITB is arranging a LaTeX workshop for all the new students of our department.
It is mandatory for all new students to attend this workshop.
LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
Dr. D. Bijual, Ph.D in IEOR, receievd an Award for Excellence in Thesis for the year 2010-11. The award is given to a selected set of students in the Ph.D. programme for their exemplary contributions during their Thesis work, overall academic performance and contributions during the student's tenure in the doctoral programme. The award was presented during the 49th Convocation of IIT Bombay held on 5th August 2011.
Ms. Violet Bhattacharya, M.Tech IEOR, received the Institute Silver Medal for the year 2010-11. The Silver medal was awarded to her for standing first in her M.Tech class by obtaining the highest CPI. The award was presented during the 49th Convocation held on 5th August 2011. Violet's Master's thesis was on "The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem - Recent Developments and Analysis of Effects of Parameters", under the guidance of Prof. P.G. Awate.
Dr. Jayendran Venkaetswaran attended the 29th International Conference of the System Dynamics Society held during July 24th - 29th 2011, at Washington, DC, USA . He presented the paper on "Simulation based Analysis of Service Levels in Stable Production-Inventory Systems", co-authored with Mr. Kaushik Margabandu, Dr. Bijulal and Prof. N. Hemachandra.
Vikas Vikram Singh, a PhD student, participated in 8th International ISDG Workshop (http://www.gerad.ca/colloques/isdg2011/) during 21-23 of July, 2011 at Padova, Italy. He presented a paper `Constrained stochastic game with independent state processes: A mathematical programming approach', co-authored with Prof N. Hemachandra.
Ketki Kulkarni, PhD student, along with Prof. Jayendran Venkateswaran presented their work titled "Scheduling in stochastic job shops using hybrid simulation and optimization approaches" at the 2011 INFORMS Simulation Society Research Workshop. This was held at Montreal, Canada between July 18-20, 2011.
Prof. Jayendran also presented his work on "Production planning using hybrid optimization-simulation based approach" at the same workshop. This is a joint work with Vivek Sharma, Dual Degree student, Mechanical Engineering.

Abstract:
Three students of IEOR attended the 19th Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS2011) held on July 10-15, 2011 at Melbourne, Australia.
Krishna Chaitanya Vanam (Graduate student) chaired a session "Innovative Applications in Game Theory" and presented a paper on "A New Excess-based Solution Concept for Cooperative TU Games", co-authored with Prof. N Hemachandra.
Vikas Vikram Singh gave a talk on "Constrained Stochastic Games with Independent State Processes: A Mathematical Programming Approach" on July 11, 2011. He is presenting this work at the Eighth International ISDG (International Society of Dynamic Games) Workshop at Padova, Italy between July 21 - 23, 2011.This is a joint work with Prof. N Hemachandra.
Prof. Sreekar Vadlamani, Visiting Faculty of IEOR, will be giving a series of lectures on "Stochastic Analysis: Malliavin Calculus". The first lecture will be held in Seminar Hall (Ground Floor) of CSE building at 11AM on 5th July.
