Dear SEOR students, FYI, Flexible Service and Manufacturing Journal (FSMJ) has a call for best young researcher paper award that might be of interest to you. Also, FSMJ has a new special issue "Simulation-Optimization in Manufacturing and Services" for which I served as a co-guest editor. You might find some of the papers in the special issue interesting, and there could be another special issue with this theme in the near future. Thanks.
