Call for Papers
7th International Conference on Computational Logistics
(ICCL’16)

September 7-9, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal

Scope

The committee of the 7th International Conference on Computational Logistics is inviting high quality papers in the field of logistics management and operations and information systems as well as related issues. Against the background of increasing demands from society for better quality of life and growing environmental problems on the one hand and existing cost and capacity requirements on the other hand a discussion of promising solution concepts and best practice applications seems to be necessary more than ever. Of particular interest are contributions based on heuristic and formal approaches as well as on innovative IT tools for decision support in case of inhomogeneous objective systems.

We consider all varieties of logistics activities, taking into account any mode of transportation or manner of cargo storage, respectively. Special emphasis will be put on studies about real-world cases providing practical experiences and insights of the odds and challenges to balance both (individual) economic interests and the requirements of public welfare. A non-exhaustive list of topical areas for this conference is as follows:

  • Innovative concepts for transport over water, rail, road, and air
  • Integrated planning and control of logistic nodes, their interconnections and their processes
  • Formal methods for decision support in operational (port, terminal, hinterland) logistics
  • Planning tools and tool-based environments for design of logistics supra- and infrastructure
  • Industrial applications of optimization and control for logistics
  • Multi-agent systems and distributed control for logistics
  • Automatic control and autonomous (water, road, air) transport systems for efficient logistics
  • Heuristics and meta-heuristics implementations in logistics-related models
  • Computational analysis and evaluation of logistics induced environmental impact
  • Theoretical and empirical analysis of logistics operations
  • Modelling, simulation and evaluation of the involved actors and organizations
  • Optimal strategies and operations of logistics service providers
  • Consolidation and distribution for agents or shippers within the logistics business
  • Cooperation and negotiation in maritime supply chains
  • Integration of ports in intermodal hinterland systems
  • Concurrent and parallel computing for large-scale logistics planning
  • Information systems supporting big data/cloud technology for logistical decision support

Conference Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Extended abstracts are also accepted for presentation only. The abstracts will be reviewed to the same standards of quality as full papers, but will not be part of the proceedings.
