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.

D.Bijulal defended his Ph.D. thesis titled "Stability and Service Level based Control of Some Forward and Reverse Flow Production - Inventory Systems" on 30 June, 2011. The external examiner for the defence was Prof.Pratap.K.J Mohapatra from IIT Kharagpur. Bijulal is working as an associate professor in College of Engineering Trivandrum, Thiruvananthapuram.
N. Hemachandra gave a talk "Quadratic programs and some constrained stochastic games", at School of Technology and Computer Science, TIFR, Mumbai, on 12th May 2011.
Farewell for IEOR M.Tech 2011 batch was organised on 8th May 2011 at Gulmohar. Passing out students shared their experiences and thoughts. Prof. Narayan Rangaraj, Prof. Prakash Awate and Prof. Jayendran Venkateswaran joined with other students on this occasion.
We thank them for their initiatives and cooperation offered to IEOR.
