The 1980 Lanchester prize
ANNOUNCEMENTS THE 1980 LANCHESTER PRIZE Call for Nominations Each year since 1954 the Council of the Operations Research Society of America has offered the Lanchester Prize for the best English-language published contribution in operations research. The Prize for 1980 consists of $2,000 and a commemorative medallion. The screening of books and papers for the 1980 Prize will be carried out by a committee appointed by the Council of the Society. To be eligible for consideration, the book or paper must be nominated to the Committee. Nominations may be made by anyone; this notice constitutes a call for nominations. To be eligible for the Lanchester Prize, a book, a paper or a group of books or papers must meet the following requirements: (1) It must be on an operations research subject, (2) It must carry a current award year publication date, or, if a group, or at least one member of the group must carry a current award year publication date, (3) It must be written in the English language, and (4) It must have appeared in the open literature. The books(s) or papers(s) may be a case history, a report of research representing new results, or primarily expository. For any nominated set (e.g. article and/or book) covering more than the most recent year, it is expected that each element in the set represents work from one continuous effort, such as a multi-year project or a continuously written, multi-volume book. Judgements will be made by the Committee using the following criteria: (I) The magnitude of the contribution to the advancement of the state of the art of operations research, (2) The originality of the ideas or methods, (3) New vistas of application opened up, (4) The degree to which unification or simplification of existing theory or method is achieved, and (5) Expository clarity and excellence. Nominations should be sent to:
Linus E. Schrage Graduate School of Business University of Chicago 1101 East 58th Street Chicago, IL 60637, U.S.A.
Nominations may be in any form, but must include as a minimum the title(s) of the paper(s) or book, author(s), place and date of publication, and six copies of material. Supporting statements bearing on the worthwhileness of the publication in terms of the five criteria will be helpful, but are not required. Each nomination will be carefully screened by the Committee; nominations must be received by 30 May, 1981, to allow time for adequate review. Announcement of the results of the Committee and ORSA Council action, as well as award of any prize(s) approved, will be made at the National Meeting of the Society, 19-21 October 1981 in Houston, Texas. 131

INFORMATION
IO-14 August 1981 MEDIA TECHNOLOGY: ON OPTICAL VIDEODISCS, THEIR PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION (PART 2) 17-21 August 1981 Today, the term “media” does not carry particularly good connotations. The words imply a single direction of common denominator information flowing at you. By contrast, in this special summer session, we mean highly interactive and personalized systems of information access, with the audio-visual richness of television, with the breadth and depth of publishing, and with the two-way conversional nature of computers. The realization of such systems is beginning with the emergence of home computers, video- and tele-text systems, interactive videodiscs, and a growing consumer electronics market. What is happening quite simply is that information is becoming a personal good. At MIT, media technology is part of a larger program to integrate film, video. graphic design, image processing, human factors psychology, and telecommunications. Part I of this program is to share this broad panorama. Part 2 is to focus on an exemplar, the optical videodisc. with which MIT has had the fortune to be working since its inception. The program is under ‘the direction of Professors Negroponte and Lippman.
