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

September 7-9, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal
http://iccl2016.widescope.pt/welcome/

    *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
