The International Symposium on Military Operational Research
   



     

Guidelines for authors are now available.  Please read them carefully if you are presenting a paper or exhibiting a poster at 35 ISMOR.

Welcome to ISMOR

ISMOR, the world's foremost international conference on defence operational research, was founded in 1984 by the late Professor Ronnie Shephard, who at that time held the chair of operational research (OR) at the UK's Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham. It has been held annually ever since.

ISMOR is officially endorsed and sponsored by the UK Ministry of Defence.  Strong support is also provided by the Defence Special Interest Group of the OR Society in the UK and by the Military Operations Research Society in the US.

Each year, at the Symposium Dinner, a distinguished guest speaker delivers the Ronnie Shephard Memorial Address.

Papers and presentations from earlier symposia are available online.

The ISMOR website also hosts other online resources likely to be of interest to the defence and security analysis community.
