IJAHP News: Ferretti/ ISAHP Meeting in Washington D.C. International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy Process 290 Vol. 5 Issue 2 2013 ISSN 1936-6744 ISAHP Meeting in Washington DC, June 29 – July 2, 2014 Valentina Ferretti The next International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process/Analytic Network Process (ISAHP) will take place between June 29 and July 2 in Washington DC, at the very heart of its elegant and fascinating downtown (http://www.isahp.org/). This is the first time that a consecutive annual conference will take place, and this will ensure that from now on the International Conference on Multicriteria Decision Making and the International Symposium of the Analytic Hierarchy Process will not occur in the same year. Thus all interested attendees will be able to participate in both of these important events. The ISAHP is a truly international event that brings together researchers, teachers, students and users of AHP/ANP to share their research and experiences in decision-making. The last meeting, which took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in June 2013 attracted approximately 140 participants from more than 30 countries around the world, and is remembered as an excellent meeting thanks to the constructive learning environment and the exceptional breadth of the scientific contributions! There are several highlights to note about the ISAHP 2014 meeting. First, there will be a student track dedicated to Undergraduate/Master students to incentivize participation from younger researchers. Also, there will be a focus on cooperative research, and therefore the emphasis will be on organized sessions rather than on individual isolated submissions. For conference evaluation purposes only a paper http://www.isahp.org/ IJAHP News: Ferretti/ ISAHP Meeting in Washington D.C.
