We kindly remember to submit your contributions to participate at the ICCL 2015.

6th International Conference on Computational Logistics

September 23-25, 2015 – Delft, The Netherlands

http://realtimelogistics.info/iccl

Theme: Coordination for real-time logistics

The 6th International Conference on Computational Logistics will be held in Delft

(The Netherlands). This conference provides a remarkable opportunity for academia, industry, and governmental agencies to share solutions, address new challenges, and discuss future research directions on the application of information, communication, optimization and control technologies to logistic activities. The conference will feature keynote lectures, technical sessions, tutorials, on-site computational logistics experience, an optional one-day pre-conference workshop,and a social program, in an informal and inspiring setting.

High quality papers in the field of logistics management, operations, control, and

information systems are welcomed. Of particular interest are papers on heuristic and formal approaches as well as on innovative ICT tools for decision support and control for improving coordination in logistic systems at the operational level.

LNCS Proceedings & Transportation Research Part E Special Issue

Full papers presented at the conference will be published in the conference

proceedings, published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS),

indexed by ISI Web of Science, Scopus, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, MathSciNet,

a.o. Authors of selected high-quality papers will be invited to submit extended

versions of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review.

Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

·         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

·         Modeling, 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
