OR Forum-President's Symposium: A Perspective on the Future of Operations Research
TL;DR: Taking the past success of OR as their point of departure, these comments view its future as hinging on aspects of professionalism: identification, standards of quality, outreach to new areas of social concern, and a critical study of its own work and approaches.

A computational study of an objective hyperplane search heuristic for the general integer linear programming problem
TL;DR: An objective function hyperplane search heuristic for solving the general all-integer linear programming problem (ILP) is described and theory developed for combinations of the objective function and problem constraints is used to guide the search.

OR in the real world: how things go wrong
TL;DR: This paper describes what previous research has determined to be the causes of most OR (modeling) failures, and recount a particular study that illustrates rude intrusions, and attempts to differentiate between rude intruders of the real world on the OR process, and rude intrusion caused by the Or process.
