International Conference on Operations Research and Decision Science (ICORDS 2025)
Purpose
The present conference ICORDS 2025 provides a platform for leading Mathematicians and Statisticians around the globe, working in the area of Operations Research (OR), Management Science, Data Science, and Analytics, to get together in the physical space, discuss several research issues, and to introduce new innovations. The main goal of the conference is to bring experts, young researchers, industrialists, and students together to present recent developments in the dynamic and important fields such as optimization, scheduling paradigms, supply chain management intricacies, risk analysis frameworks, and decision-making methodologies under uncertain conditions. The conference also aims to stimulate research and support the interaction among the scientists by creating an environment for the participants to exchange ideas and to initiate collaborations and professional partnerships.
On behalf of the Scientific Advisory Committee and the Local Organizing Committee, we have much pleasure in extending a cordial invitation to participate in this conference.
The sessions of the conference include plenary and invited talks from eminent speakers. Besides these sessions, organizers invite the participants to present their research work in the sessions of contributory talks.
Dedication
Tirukkannamangai Echambadi Srinivasa Raghavan, one of the leading game theorists of our time, was born on August 05, 1940. He holds the degree of M.Sc. in Statistics (Presidency College, Madras University) and received his Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics from ISI Calcutta in 1968 under the guidance of legendary statistician Prof. Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao. Prof. Raghavan’s interests are Game theory; linear, non-linear programming; matrix theory; applied statistics; operations research. Prof. Raghavan has made many fundamental contributions to the field of game theory and equilibrium computations. He is well known for his contributions to game theory, decision science, and special matrices, and particularly to the topics on stochastic games and cooperative games. He has published more than 60 research papers, written 4 monographs, and guided 14 students.
Being an ardent fan of Carnatic music, he has been organizing Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam every year in Chicago. Following the ancient Indian educational system, he has been running a Gurukulam in Game theory in his native Pulavanur, Tamil Nadu. In 2021, 2023, and 2024 the Gurukulam was organized by CARAMS, MAHE, Manipal.
He is currently with the University of Illinois, Chicago, and has held many visiting positions. CARAMS, MAHE is pleased to dedicate ICORDS 2025 to him on the occasion of his 85th birthday.

Publications
Selected articles will get an opportunity of possible publication in special issues of the following journals.
The aim of these special issues is to explore both theoretical and algorithmic advances in the field of computational operations research and algorithmic game theory. Furthermore, these special issues will focus on game theoretical applications of Operations Research.
Book chapters/expository articles are invited for the book-volume ‘Applied Operations Research, Game theory, and Decision Science’ which is intended to be published in some reputed series of SPRINGER.
Springer Nature books excel research and learning for students, researchers and professionals worldwide. Springer Nature’s books and eBooks deliver access to the most complete collection of scientific, technical, medical, business, humanities and social sciences publications available today. Thousands of new reference works, monographs, briefs, proceedings, textbooks, and series are published every year.
Authors are encouraged to submit papers that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field and offer practical insights for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of published articles.
Papers by nonparticipants are also welcome for submitting the articles which are in the focus of the conference. Due to the limitation of the number of articles in the special issue, qualified articles presented at the conference are considered with priority.
Best Paper Award
Full research articles on any of the following themes are invited from the researchers (presenting authors) for presentation in the Best paper award competition.
Eligibility: Full research articles (need not be original) on any of the above-mentioned themes are invited from the researchers (presenting authors).
The presenting authors are required to submit No Objection Certificate from the coauthors, along with the paper. Format for No Objection Certificate can be downloaded here: Click here.
All original papers selected for contributory sessions as well as for Best Paper Awards competition are eligible for the further review process in the appropriate conference publications. Authors may opt not to publish the presented paper in the special issue dedicated to ICORDS 2025.
Note: One may submit an extended abstract of a paper instead of full paper for the possible consideration for presentation in Best Paper Award contest. However, full paper should be submitted before the presentation.
