| | INFORMS von Neumann Theory Prize Winners |
 | | This year the prize was awarded to Peter Whittle for the remarkable variety and high caliber of his lifetime's work and its profound impact on operations research, particularly his contributions to time series analysis, stochastic optimization, stochastic network processes and self-organizing systems. |
 | | The 1982 von Neumann Theory Prize of the Operations Research Society of America and The Institute of Management Sciences is awarded to Abraham Charnes, William W. Cooper, and Richard J. Duffin for their fundamental contributions to optimization methods, concepts, and models for problems of decision, planning and design. |
 | | The John von Neumann Theory Prize for 1979 is awarded to David Blackwell for his outstanding work in developing the theory of Markovian decision processes, and, more generally, for his many contributions in probability theory, mathematical statistics, and game theory that have strengthened the methodology of operations research and management science. |
