Dear Readers

I am honored to take on the role of the Editor of ORB Newsletters.  I will do my best to work as a bridge between the POP members. 

This is the first time for me to do editing work on international community. So I need you kind support. In particular we welcome any articles on  Research News, POP member News, Proposal for member interview, Conference report, Reviews on books, optimization software and useful websites, and so on.

If you want to submit your article, please do not hesitate to send me it via e-mail nobuo[at]i.kyoto-u.ac.jp.

Sincerely

Nobuo Yamashita
