Request for Discussion (RFD): I propose a new Usenet group to
serve the needs of the operations research (O.R.) community scattered
in industry and academic departments such as Math., Engineering,
Computer Science and Management. The name and the charter of this
group is given below. I also provide information on the process of
creating a newsgroup and answer some expected questions.
This RFD is being cross-posted to the newsgroups news.announce.newgroups,
news.groups, sci.math.num-analysis, sci.engr.manufacturing, comp.parallel,
and sci.econ.research, and is being separately mailed to the mailing
list ORCS-L.

1.PROPOSED NAME OF GROUP
========================
sci.math.ops-research
(unmoderated)
[A discussion on this name, and other proposals, is appended at the end]
2.PURPOSE
=========
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS GROUP IS TO ACT AS THE UMBRELLA GROUP FROM
WHICH DIFFERENT O.R. INTEREST GROUPS WILL BRANCH OFF IN THE FUTURE,
AS ENVISIONED BY THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE OF THE ORMS BOARD.
In the interim, the newsgroup will support the RESEARCH, APPLICATION
and TEACHING of operations research through the unmoderated exchange
of information through various activities including:
(RESEARCH AND APPLICATION)
-- Posting information about accepted papers
-- Asking questions and posting summaries of replies
-- Posting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and other lists such as
-Ajay Shah's list of Free C/C++ programs for numerical methods
-Arthur Geoffrion's list of mail reflectors relevant to O.R.
-John Gregory's FAQ on LP
Those interested in a particular area could bring out regular FAQs
answering questions or likely questions from those new to their
area.
-- Posting information about ARCHIVES (e.g. those at Rutgers, Bilkent)
(TEACHING)
-- Sharing teaching approaches
-- Announcement of new textbooks; Discussion on existing textbooks
(APPLICATION)
-- New product announcements
-- Users' impressions of commercial software (No advertisements.)
(OTHER)
-- JOB announcements in universities and industry
3. WHERE DOES THE DISCUSSION TAKE PLACE
=======================================
The discussion takes place only in the group "news.groups". For those
reading this in other newsgroups, the followup to this RFD will
automatically appear in news.groups. Those unable to post letters
to news.groups (or other newsgroups) can email to
announce-newgroups@uunet.uu.net.
If you have questions about the newsgroup, you can email me.
(See below)
4. WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF CREATING A NEWSGROUP
==============================================
>(a) RFD: Discussion, i.e., public hearing to take place in the newsgroup
news.groups for approximately one month
(b) CFV: Call for votes (the voting period will be about 25 days)
(c) Counting of votes and public display of votes
(d) Announcement of new newsgroup
(a)-->(b) assumes no major disagreements about this newsgroup during
discussion. (c)-->(d) assumes that the vote is favorable., i.e.,
Y > N+100 .and. Y > (2/3)(Y+N)
Y being the number of YES votes, N being the number of NO votes for
the creation of the proposed newsgroup.
5. WHAT ABOUT THE LISTSERV MAILING LIST
=======================================
Currently a mailing list (orcs-l on LISTSERV) serves some
members of the O.R. community in the discussion of computational aspects
of O.R. In the absence of another volunteer, I will cross-post relevant
posts on sci.math.ops-research to ORCS-L and vice-versa.
6. WHAT NEXT
============
Once the discussion is over, and there is agreement over whether there
is need for such a group, and that the name is acceptable, and whether
it should or should not be moderated, the next step is to vote (or if
there is disagreement, a more acceptable proposal will be made.)
Look out for the Call for Votes (CFV).

========== APPENDIX: DISCUSSION ON THE NAME==========================
27th June '93
----------------------------- MY POST --------------------
I am working on creating a new newsgroup for operations research. So
far, the following names have been proposed:
1. sci.math.ops-research
2. sci.ops-research
3. sci.or/ms
4. sci.or-ms
(where "or" stand for operations research, "ms" stand for management science.)
Q1. Are all the names "valid", i.e. acceptable to Usenet readers?
Q2. For the names that are valid, could you order them in decreasing
preference?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Some time ago I posted the above seeking help with naming a group
that I will be putting up for Discussion soon. I received a large number
of replies with a near-unanimity of opinion. As such,
I took the liberty of quoting only from a few responses, rather than
collate all the responses. (Etiquette watchers, if this is not the preferred
practice, please let me know....I will post all the letters, or least the
names of those who responded). Many thanks to those who responded...I have
quoted some of them, but have not acknowledged anyone. I hope the reasoning
presented in the quotes will be useful for those searching for valid and
acceptable names.
BACKGROUND: Wrangling on the name issue has been going on for some time due
to (a) different constituencies (from engr, comp. sci, math., mgt.) of
operations research, and (b) the desire to leave "room" to expand into
the different sub-areas of operations research with groups
such as ..ops-research.linear-programming, or ops-research.stochastics.
>From the responses I got, it is clear that that "sci.math.ops-research"
is the way to go.
SUMMARY: sci.or/ms is invalid because of the "/", while
sci.or-ms is unacceptable because the name is too cryptic. Both
sci.ops-research and sci.math.ops-research are acceptable as names, but
there are questions about the desirability of the name "sci.ops-research."
The most compelling argument for naming the group under "sci.math." is
that "sci.math" may be the best place for people to look for an operations
research group. Also, naming the group under sci.math would mean that
people who get the sci.math newsfeed would also get the newsgroup in
question. In addition, by proposing the group "sci.ops-research,"
the onus would be on me to show why operations research deserves
its own category under "sci." The names "misc.management.ops-research"
was also suggested.

msodhi@agsm.ucla.edu
------------------- SOME QUOTES FROM REPONSES -------------------------
-valid and acceptable are two different things.
1. sci.math.ops-research
OK.
2. sci.ops-research
-OK, but less desirable unless you can show that operations research is not a
part of the various disciplines represented at the second level of the sci.*
hierarchy.
-There are always some branches of any field that overlap with other fields.
The question one typically asks when locating a newsgroup is: "where would
readers/posters/news-admins logically look for this newsgroup". Remember,
putting it under math means that it will propagate to all sites that get
sci.math but not sci.all. And those are the sites that are most likely to
be interested in it.
- However, placement in the hierarchy is the kind of thing
that the discussion period is for hashing out. Go for
ops-research, initially under sci.* and voice your concerns
that it might belong under sci.math.*. I am certain that
there will be enough discussion on the subject for you to
make a decision before posting the CFV.
-is kind of stretching the topic (after all, it's a subset of math, right?),
3. sci.or/ms
Not OK. A / is not valid in a newsgroup name, since each level of that name is
stored as a directory on Unix-based systems, and / is the Unix directory
separator, leading to confusion.
4. sci.or-ms
(where "or" stand for operations research, "ms" stand for management science.)
Legal, but bad; the name of a newsgroup must be understandable not only to
those to whom the group is directed but also to those who have no knowledge of
the subject of the group. In this case, the group would get flooded with
postings asking "what is or-ms?".
Q2. For the names that are valid, could you order them in decreasing
preference?
1, 2, 4. 3 is not acceptable.
-How about a misc group. From the name, it doesn't sound to me like it
should be in a science hierarchy. Maybe misc.mgmt.operations, or some
variant on that. Also, isn't there a discussion going on currently about
misc.mgmt, or misc.management. Maybe you could wait for that one to be
decided and place yourself under it?

Due to a change in name for the proposed newsgroup from
sci.math.ops-research to:
sci.op-research
I am posting this second RFD. The reasons for the change in name
are twofold: one, to act in accordance with the recommendations of the
Technology Committee of the ORMS Board and the requests of many people
who have written asking for the Operations Research group to be in its
"own" category, and two, to avoid painful restructuring of the
newsgroup when sub-groups are created, as happened with the Statistics,
the NeXT and the OS/2 newsgroups recently. A minor change, the shrinking
of "ops" to "op", is to accomodate those who refer to the area as
"Operational Research."
Although the proposed name change will now satisfy most O.R. newsgroup
readers, the name change is not without cost as some practi-
tioners may find it hard to access the newsgroup if their organization
gets only "sci.math.*" newsfeeds. Still, in weighing the pros and cons,
I have chosen to go with the new name: might as well do it right the
first time!
Another change is the expanded list of newsgroups and mailing lists
to which this RFD is being sent in response to requests that I received.
Special thanks go to Craig Willits (Air Force Instt. of Tech.), to
David Lawrence (Moderator, news.announce.newgroups) and to readers of
the mailing list ORCS-L for making this 2nd RFD possible.

CHARTER
=======
The main purpose of this group is to act as the umbrella group from
which different operations research interest groups will branch off in
the future, as envisioned by the technology committee of the ORMS
board.
In the interim, the newsgroup will support the RESEARCH, APPLICATION
and TEACHING of operations research through the exchange of information
through various activities including:
(RESEARCH AND APPLICATION)
-- Posting information about accepted papers
-- Asking questions and posting summaries of replies
-- Posting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and other lists such as
-Ajay Shah's list of Free C/C++ programs for numerical methods
-Arthur Geoffrion's list of mail reflectors relevant to O.R.
-John Gregory's FAQ on LP
Those interested in a particular area could bring out regular FAQs
answering questions or likely questions from those new to their
area.
-- Posting information about ARCHIVES (e.g. those at Rutgers,
Bilkent)
(TEACHING)
-- Sharing teaching approaches
-- Announcement of new textbooks; Discussion on existing textbooks
(APPLICATION)
-- New product announcements
-- Users' impressions of commercial software (No advertisements.)
(OTHER)
-- JOB announcements in universities and industry
The group will be UNMODERATED.
