Dear Colleagues,
The Sustainability Division within the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Social, Environmental and Sustainability Track at the 2013 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC). ISERC, which is part of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research community.
As track chairs of the Social, Environmental and Sustainability Track, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4 presenters. Abstracts are welcome in the following areas:

We encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference proceedings. The papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research community. Full papers have a ten-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest. Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.
The important deadlines for the conference are:

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, or panels. In addition to research presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.
