Innovative Research
in Airline Operations Research
The Anna Valicek
Medal recognizes original and innovative research in the application of
operations research to airline and/or airline related business problems. This
annual award is sponsored by the Airline Group of the International
Federation of Operational Research Societies (AGIFORS) and honors the
late Anna Valicek who served for many years as a member of the AGIFORS
council.
Applicants must be
registered graduate students pursuing either a masters of science,
masters of business administration, or doctoral degree with a research
thesis in the area of operations research, engineering systems, air
transportation or management science. Derivatives of existing published
work are acceptable, provided that at least some of the material comprises
new, original contributions on the part of the graduate student. The
submitter grants AGIFORS the right to publish the work on the AGIFORS
website.
After the paper
submission is closed, the award committee will select two papers as
finalists for the Anna Valicek Medal. Both finalists are invited to
present their work at the AGIFORS Symposium (air transportation,
accommodations and symposium fees are sponsored). The AGIFORS Community,
represented by the symposium attendants, will get opportunities to ask questions.
The AGIFORS Council will then select the winner who will receive the
Silver Anna Valicek Medal and a US $2,500 award. The other
finalist will receive the Bronze Anna Valicek Medal and a US $500 award.
