Operations Research and computers focuses on applying mathematics to the management of complex systems. Practitioners of Operations Research excel at modelling complex real-world problems through computers by using mathematics, developing solution techniques for these problems, and analyzing the results to gain insights for decision-making. Mathematical models developed by practitioners of Operations Research are firmly rooted in and are consistent with underlying physical, psychological, and organizational principles applicable to the problem. Operations Research models facilitate decision-making for investment or consumption decisions made by individuals, strategic or operating decisions made by firms for production and operations management (POM); or policy decisions made by institutions or governments.

The purposes of computers and production and operations management (POM) - of the Society are:

•To extend and integrate knowledge that contributes to the improved understanding and practice of computer & production and operations management (POM);

•To disseminate information on POM to managers, scientists, educators, students, public and private organizations, national and local governments, and the general public;

•To promote the improvement of POM and its teaching in public and private manufacturing and service organizations throughout the world with the utilization of computers:

•Are interested in examining the management of the creation and application of rapidly changing technologies (Computers) as well as the development and launch of innovative new products.

COR is a quality journal and is well appreciated by the peer group working in OR, especially those who develop algorithms/heuristics for improving quality of life through developing OR models. As somebody has rightly said, OR is an art of giving bad answers where worst answers are possible and COR provides a forum for refining such "bad" answers through computers !
