Donald R. Alvic is Senior Associate Director of the Energy, Environment, and Resources Center at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Having received his Ph.D. in geography his research interests are varied, but his main focus is on pollution, its causes, and its control.

Lakdere Benkherouf is Associate Professor of OR at King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. Kevin Glazebrook is Professor of Applied Probability and Head of Statistics of Newcastle University, U. K. Wyn Owen is Lecturer in Operational Research in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Essex, U. K. The scheduling ideas described in their article arose out of Benkherouf's doctoral thesis which concerned Bayes decision-theoretic models for oil exploration. The authors have published a related article, "Gittens' Indices and Oil Exploration" (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 1992) which focuses more exclusively on these exploration models.

John B. Bennett is Environmental Coordinator, Office of the Director, at the U.S. Bureau of Mines. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Tufts Univer- sity. He started and managed the Bureau's clean air program, which included studies measuring the impact of acid rain legislation on the aluminum smelting and silicon producing industries.

Teodor Gabriel Crainic is Professor of Operations Research in the Department of Administrative Sciences at the University of Quebec at Montreal, and Director of the Centre de recherche sur les trans- ports of the University of Montreal. His research interests are in OR models, methods, and planning tools applied to transportation, as well as the study of

parallel computation and its impact on the design of OR models and algorithms.

Izak Duenyas is Assistant Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on production and inventory control. His paper is part of a larger research project to develop simple yet effective release and scheduling policies for manufacturing systems.

Markus Ettl is currently working at the University of Erlangen, Germany, in the computer architecture and performance analysis group. His research interests include performance valuation of computer, commu- nication, and manufacturing systems, in particular, analytic and simulative evaluation of production lines.

Awi Federgruen is the Charles E. Exley Professor of Management at the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University. Michal Tzur is on the faculty of the Department of Industrial Engineering at Tel Aviv University and was, until recently, affiliated with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The results described in this paper are part of the authors' work in the general areas of single and multi- item production planning problems. The proposed planning approach is directly motivated by their results on forecast horizons for single item problems, reported in the May/June issue of this journal.

George Fishman is Professor of OR at the University of North Carolina. He is a regular contributor to the literature on many aspects of Monte Carlo methods and, in particular, on discrete event simulation. These include design of experiments, sample path data analysis, pseudorandom number generation, and nonuni- form generation. He has published two textbooks on discrete event simulation and is completing a text- book which will provide a unified account of Monte Carlo methods.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Persons interested in joining the Operations Research Society of America will initially be admitted as Associate Members. Twice yearly at joint national meetings, the ORSA Council, upon recommendation from the Membership Committee, elects to Full Mem- ber status those individuals who have requested such a designation and who have met certain professional requirements of the Society.

Dues. The annual dues for Full Members and Associate Members are $75.00 (1995). For members who are pursuing at least a half-time program of in- struction at a recognized institute of higher learning, who are enlisted personnel (noncommissioned officers) in the U.S. Armed Forces, or who are retired members, the dues are $37.50-one-half the rate for

Full and Associate members. If a person joins ORSA after July 1, the dues are 50% of these amounts. Society dues include subscriptions to Operations Research and OR/MS Today (each published six times per year), two ORSA/TIMS meeting Bulletins, and the joint ORSA/TIMS Directory.

Applications. Information on membership and activities may be requested from the Society's Business Office, at the address listed below.

Each time a paper is submitted to Operations Research, it should be accompanied by a Statement of Contribution. The purpose of this statement is to help the area editor and the referees determine if a paper meets the stated objectives. After a paper is accepted for publication, this statement will serve as the basis for the "In This Issue" column. This column appears in each issue of the Journal and precedes the presentation of articles. Prior to acceptance, this statement will become part of a paper's file and will accompany the paper during the review process.

When preparing this statement, include the following: Why is the topic addressed in your paper important? What specific contributions does the paper make to OR? What do you believe is the basis for publishing your paper. Finally, provide a brief assessment of the near and long-term implications of your contribution.

Provide an answer to each question, preferably using the form provided below. If your statement overflows the one paragraph space provided, use additional pages. Attach one copy of the completed statement, along with a Copyright Transfer Agreement and Subject Classification form, to your submission. If you fail to complete the Statement of Contribution, it may delay the start of the review process.

Under its William C. Foster Fellows Visiting Scholars Program, the U.S. Arms Control and Disannament Agency (ACDA) offers an opportunity for scholars in these and other disciplines to apply their expertise to the challenges encountered in the reduction and control of armaments. Visiting Scholars assist ACDA in its mission to conclude arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament treaties and effectively implement them. During the 1995-1996 academic year, Fellows could participate in such ACDA activities as: evaluating data relating to compliance with treaties in force; performing arms control research; supporting interagency development of arms control policy; contributing to the development and implementation of policies to arrest the proliferation of missiles and weapons of mass destruction; and taking part in intemational negotiations on arms control. Visiting Scholars must be citizens of the United States, on the faculty of a U.S. college or university, and tenured or on a tenure track. For infonnation, call (703) 302-7714 or write to: Foster Fellows Program, Office of Operations Analysis and Information Management, Room 5726, U.S. Anns Control and Disarmament Agency, 320 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC 20451.
