The Production and Quantitative Method Areas of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in collaboration with the Operational Research Society of India, Ahmedabad Chapter is pleased to announce a National Conference on Management Science and Practice during March 31st to April 1, 2006. This Conference is held in honour of Professor J.L. Saha who superannuated in December 2005 after a long and distinguished service from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Professor Saha was Director of IIM Ahmedabad during 1997-2002.
The purpose of this Conference is to provide an opportunity for scholars working in the broad area of applied management science to present and share their work. It is hoped such Conferences would promote interaction among industry and academia. Often, such interactions lead to new and challenging research areas.
The Conference would consist of several invited presentations by friends, colleagues and students of Professor Saha. The Conference is open to academicians and practitioners working in the broad area of applied management science.
It is planned to bring out a printed volume of the papers presented in the conference in honor of Professor Saha on the opening session. This Conference is scheduled to begin on March 31st 4.00 p.m. and will end on April 1st 6.00 p.m. There is no registration fee to attend this conference.

Contributed papers are invited for this Conference in the broad area of management science with a clear focus on application. Ideally, the presentation should focus on an important practical problem or discuss a methodology which has relevant and meaningful application in real life. We seek contributions from the industry emphasizing an application with appropriate academic rigor. Limited financial support for travel to attend the conference is
