Each year, standing committees in the Technical Activities Division are asked to identify and catalog peer-reviewed papers presented at the Annual Meeting that could be of potential interest to practitioners as practice-ready. Practice-ready papers in this context are defined as those in which research results presented and discussed in the papers make a contribution to the solution of current or future problems or issues for practitioners.  Information presented in these papers is ready for immediate implementation or with minimal additional research or implementation effort.
