Jacobson for advancing the field of operations research through his research that has influenced national policy, his influential role in communicating his research contributions to the public, and for his exceptional service to INFORMS and the broader operations research community.<br \/><br \/>Jacobson is a Founder Professor of Computer Science, director of the Simulation and Optimization Laboratory, and founding director of both the Bed Time Research Institute and Institute of Computational Redistricting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research record is outstanding and extensive, spanning several methodology and application areas. His methodological research focuses on discrete-event simulation optimization and decision-making under uncertainty, and his applied research contributions focus on homeland security, healthcare, and public health. He has made several seminal research contributions, all focusing on applying operations research to address societal problems of national interest. His research has been widely recognized by his peers, and he has briefed government policymakers on his research findings.<br \/><br \/>Professor Jacobson\u2019s service to the profession of operations research spans multiple directions. Notable service contributions include serving as a program director at the National Science Foundation (2012-2014) and serving on National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine committees. Professor Jacobson is a thought leader who has communicated his research findings to numerous stakeholders and the general public. He has leveraged his research to bring media attention to important scientific issues, where he has showcased the application of operations research to issues of national concern.<br \/><br \/>Professor Jacobson has served in numerous roles within INFORMS for more than three decades. He served as the general chair of the 2022 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, the first fully in-person meeting after the COVID-19 pandemic, that introduced a new format with events and workshops to provide additional options for learning. He served as treasurer on the INFORMS Board of Directors (2015-2016) and served on numerous committees. Additionally, he has been a devoted mentor to many members of the operations research community. INFORMS is extremely grateful to Professor Jacobson for his contributions to the profession of operations research through his service, and the impact that he has had in \u201cmaking the world a better place.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Professor Jacobson\u2019s research and service efforts will have a lasting impact on future generations of operations research professionals. It gives me immense pleasure to bestow this year\u2019s President\u2019s Award on Professor Sheldon Jacobson.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  id=\"kimball\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_5ibb589 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_oyi4589 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_oi59589   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h2>George E.

Papadimitriou and Mihalis\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a0for their fundamental and sustained contributions to computational complexity theory and providing an understanding of the limits of efficient solvability for a wide range of decision and optimization problems central to operations research and the management sciences (OR\/MS).<\/p> <p>As an example of a major contribution, Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a0introduced Max-NP and Max-SNP, natural variants of the NP complexity class, comprised of certain optimization problems that can be approximated with bounded error (Papadimitriou &amp;\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01988). Within these classes, they showed that several common problems have polynomial-time approximation schemes only if the whole class does.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Other major contributions include establishing the NP-completeness of the Euclidean traveling salesman problem (Papadimitriou\u00a01977), an early tour de force in the traditional framework, and characterizing the complexity of many other natural problems. Examples include: checking the validity of facets of polytopes (Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01984); determining whether a problem has a unique optimal solution (Papadimitriou\u00a01984); local search (Johnson,\u00a0Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01988); the extension complexity of LP formulations for the matching and traveling salesman problems (Yannakakis\u00a01988), a paper that erected a firewall to scores of would-be P=NP proofs; and computing Nash equilibria. In the online setting, their work on finding online solutions with a bounded competitive ratio (Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01991, 1993) has been highly influential. Finally, the introduction of the concept of the \u201cprice of anarchy\u201d (Koutsoupias\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Papadimitriou\u00a01999,\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a02009) was a catalyst for major developments in algorithmic game theory, substantially reinforcing the links between economics, computer science, and operations research.<\/p> <p>Such contributions have addressed modeling and computational issues at the core of multiple areas in OR\/MS; they have helped characterize what is possible and inherently impossible, and more broadly, have provided new tools for such characterizations.

Papadimitriou and Mihalis\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a0for their fundamental and sustained contributions to computational complexity theory and providing an understanding of the limits of efficient solvability for a wide range of decision and optimization problems central to operations research and the management sciences (OR\/MS).<\/p> <p>As an example of a major contribution, Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a0introduced Max-NP and Max-SNP, natural variants of the NP complexity class, comprised of certain optimization problems that can be approximated with bounded error (Papadimitriou &amp;\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01988). Within these classes, they showed that several common problems have polynomial-time approximation schemes only if the whole class does.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Other major contributions include establishing the NP-completeness of the Euclidean traveling salesman problem (Papadimitriou\u00a01977), an early tour de force in the traditional framework, and characterizing the complexity of many other natural problems. Examples include: checking the validity of facets of polytopes (Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01984); determining whether a problem has a unique optimal solution (Papadimitriou\u00a01984); local search (Johnson,\u00a0Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01988); the extension complexity of LP formulations for the matching and traveling salesman problems (Yannakakis\u00a01988), a paper that erected a firewall to scores of would-be P=NP proofs; and computing Nash equilibria. In the online setting, their work on finding online solutions with a bounded competitive ratio (Papadimitriou and\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a01991, 1993) has been highly influential. Finally, the introduction of the concept of the \u201cprice of anarchy\u201d (Koutsoupias\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Papadimitriou\u00a01999,\u00a0Yannakakis\u00a02009) was a catalyst for major developments in algorithmic game theory, substantially reinforcing the links between economics, computer science, and operations research.<\/p> <p>Such contributions have addressed modeling and computational issues at the core of multiple areas in OR\/MS; they have helped characterize what is possible and inherently impossible, and more broadly, have provided new tools for such characterizations. Their work has resolved fundamental open problems and sparked new and fruitful lines of research, leading to a better understanding of the field of optimization at large.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<h2>INFORMS Fellows Class of 2023<\/h2>\n<p>Congratulations to the 2023 INFORMS Fellows!

The important criteria are breadth of use in practice and relevance to operations research.
