16th Workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, 
Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2016)
(http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/atmos/)

Second Call for Papers

The workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, 
Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS) is an annual event bringing together 
researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of 
algorithmic methods and models for transportation optimization. The 
workshop provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new 
ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise 
to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring 
innovative solution techniques and ideas from mathematical 
optimization,theoretical computer science, and operations research. 
Applicable tools and concepts include those from graph and network 
algorithms, combinatorial optimization, approximation and online 
algorithms, stochastic and robust optimization.

Topics

We invite authors to present work that advances optimization methods and 
algorithms to facilitate planning and operational management of freight 
and passenger transportation and traffic. The workshop welcomes but is 
not limited to papers addressing the following challenges:
•    Demand Forecasting
•    Models for User Behavior
•    Design of Pricing Systems
•    Infrastructure Planning
•    Multi-modal Transport Optimization
•    Mobile Applications for Transport
•    Congestion Modeling and Reduction
•    Line Planning
•    Timetable Generation and Information
•    Routing and Platform Assignment
•    Vehicle Scheduling
•    Route Planning
•    Crew and Duty Scheduling
•    Rostering
•    Delay Management
•    Routing in Road Networks
•    Traffic Guidance
The workshop welcomes but is not limited to papers applying and 
advancing the following techniques: Graph and Network Algorithms, 
Combinatorial Optimization, Mathematical Programming, Approximation 
Algorithms, Methods for the Integration of Planning Stages, Stochastic 
and Robust Optimization, Online and Real-time Algorithms, Algorithmic 
Game Theory, Heuristics for Real-world Instances, Simulation Tools.

Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at 
most 12 pages (including title page, abstract, references, but not 
counting an optional appendix). Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, 
using the OASIcs style file. The paper should contain a succinct 
statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main 
results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to 
non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints can be 
put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at 
their discretion. Papers must be submitted electronically via the 
EasyChair submission system at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2016

The submission must be received by *16 June 2016*.

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance 
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2016 or ATMOS 2016, 
attend the conference, and present the paper. The proceedings will be 
published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series 
in Informatics (OASIcs).

Important dates

Submission: 16 June 2016
Notification of acceptance: early July
Final version: 29 July 2016
Symposium: 25 August 2016
