THE MAKING OF A TIMS MEETING: TIMS XVII IN KYOTO.

The article presents information on the activities of the TIMS XXII International Meeting in Kyoto, Japan from July 23-26, 1975. Activities for the TIMS XXII International Meeting have been in high gear since the spring of 1973. A group of six Program Directors has been hard at work architecting a meeting structure that would appeal to the great array of interests that abide within the house of the management sciences. They have been successful in generating great interest which means that heavy demands have been placed upon their time in their correspondence and conversations with potential session chairmen as well as individual participants. A tentative description of the sessions in the program supplied by each program director has been included. Donald L. Iglehart, professor, Stanford University, has the responsibility to arrange sessions on the more theoretical aspects of management science. Eleven technical sessions have been organized by chairmen who are recognized experts in their subject.
