美国工业工程年会杂记--(1)

美国工业工程年会是工业工程界每年非常重要的几次会议之一(其他重要的会议还有INFORMS年会，Winter Simulation Conference等)，所以有非常多的学者和公司参加。会议一般分为两个部分，一个部分是IE Research conference（IERC），也就是学术上的交流，第二个部分是公司的演示和新技术新产品的介绍。会议从五月十七日至二十一日，历时五天。

到达波特兰的时候，已经是17日晚上。因为同行的人第二天早上有presentation，所以后一段路开的很急。到宾馆后已是疲惫不堪，登记后就休息了，所以没有参加欢迎宴会。因为有两个小时的时差，第二天起得很早，来到宾馆的大厅，已经是人满为患。不过，似乎参加的人数不及去年在奥兰多的会议（因为迪斯尼乐园？）。

拿到会议的日程，翻看了一下，和以往的改动不大。只不过，今年年会中，logistics & scheduling的比重又较去年有所提高，这也很明显的代表着目前工业工程技术的侧重点。IERC共有116个session，具体的分类如下，希望大家可以通过每个分支所占session的比重，看出工业工程的发展方向。
