<p>I just learned about <a href="http://www.seasteading.org" rel="nofollow">Seasteading</a> and it seems to be a potential source of interesting O.R. problems (e.g. transportation/logistics, site selection, etc.). Does anyone know of work in this area?</p>

<p>I run an "OR Implementations" course where students do a project. Normally the project requires modeling a linear or integer program, implementing it (within AIMMS this year), and then developing extensions based on feedback. </p> <p>I have a group of students who badly want to do something in the social networks area (blogs, twitter, facebook, etc.), ideally with a marketing slant. Any ideas of an application that would work well?</p>

<p>I'm interested in hearing methods OR methods for fraud prediction. I'm aware of the classical methods like Logistic Regression. Perhaps there are some other methods.</p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p>after stumbling upon <a href="http://yetanothermathprogrammingconsultant.blogspot.com/2010/04/l1-portfolio-formulation.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> I wonder if there is a comprehensive list of portfolio models? (If not, maybe this question could serve as community wiki?)</p>

<p>Operations Research has changed the world of Military Logistics, Supply Chains, Operations Management, Airlines, and lately Finance. What are the new areas where OR will have a significant impact in the next few years? What new fields can a student of OR today expect to work on, say 5-10 years from now?</p>
