The prize is awarded for a body of work, typically published over a period of several years.

recognize widespread impact in the practice of operations research. It may be awarded to an individual or a single set of collaborators. The award may be given for the original research (if these ideas have been widely adopted), and\/or for special efforts required to bring the research to a practical form (e.g., implementation as a software package or the communication of a body of research through writings, teaching, and consulting). The important criteria are breadth of use in practice and relevance to operations research. The technical assessment of the quality of the work is considered secondary to the degree to which it has been widely adopted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.informs.org\/Recognizing-Excellence\/INFORMS-Prizes\/Impact-Prize\">Learn more about the INFORMS Impact Prize on the INFORMS website<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>This year&#8217;s winner is:<\/b><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_4 tb_pyio285\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-1 tb_u9eo285 first\">\n                    <!-- module image -->\n<div  class=\"module module-image tb_ex54285 image-top   tf_mw\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"image-wrap tf_rel tf_mw\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"288\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/seattle2024\/files\/2024\/10\/John_W_Chinneck.jpg\" class=\"wp-post-image wp-image-6198\" title=\"John W.

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.<\/p> <p>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.<\/p> <p>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.<\/p> <p>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<\/p> <p>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><\/li><\/ul>\n<h2>John von Neumann Theory Prize<br><\/h2>\n<p>The John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded annually to a scholar (or scholars in the case of joint work) who has made fundamental, sustained contributions to theory in operations research and the management sciences. The prize is awarded for a body of work, typically published over a period of several years. Although recent work should not be excluded, the prize typically reflects contributions that have stood the test of time. The criteria for the prize are broad, and include significance, innovation, depth, and scientific excellence.\u00a0<\/p> <p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.informs.org\/Recognizing-Excellence\/INFORMS-Prizes\/John-von-Neumann-Theory-Prize\">Learn more about the von Neumann Prize and how to be nominated in the INFORMS website<\/a>.<\/b><\/p> <p><b>This year's winner is:<\/b><\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/seattle2024\/files\/2024\/10\/unknown-dai.jpg\" title=\"unknown-dai\" alt=\"unknown-dai\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/seattle2024\/files\/2024\/10\/unknown-dai.jpg 288w, https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/seattle2024\/files\/2024\/10\/unknown-dai-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/>\n<h3>Jim Dai<\/h3> <h4>Cornell University<\/h4>\n<ul><li><h4>Citation<\/h4><p>The 2023 INFORMS John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded to Christos H. 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 2024<\/h2>\n<p>Congratulations to the 2024 INFORMS Fellows!

The award may be given for the original research (if these ideas have been widely adopted), and\/or for special efforts required to bring the research to a practical form (e.g., implementation as a software package or the communication of a body of research through writings, teaching, and consulting). The important criteria are breadth of use in practice and relevance to operations research.
