<br>
The 6th International Conference on Computational Logistics
(ICCL’15) will be held in Delft (The Netherlands), hosted by Delft
University of Technology. 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 a
journal.<br>
<br>
<b>Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited
to:</b><b><br>
</b><br>
* Innovative concepts for transport over water, rail, road, and air<br>
* Integrated planning and control of logistic nodes, their
interconnections and their processes<br>
* Formal methods for decision support in operational (port,
terminal, hinterland) logistics<br>
* Planning tools and tool-based environments for design of logistics
supra- and infrastructure<br>
* Industrial applications of optimization and control for logistics<br>
* Multi-agent systems and distributed control for logistics<br>
* Automatic control and autonomous (water, road, air) transport
systems for efficient logistics<br>
* Heuristics and meta-heuristics implementations in logistics
related models<br>
* Computational analysis and evaluation of logistics induced
environmental impact<br>
* Theoretical and empirical analysis of logistics operations<br>
* Modeling, simulation and evaluation of the involved actors and
organizations<br>
* Optimal strategies and operations of logistics service providers<br>
* Consolidation and distribution for agents or shippers within the
logistics business<br>
* Cooperation and negotiation in maritime supply chains<br>
* Integration of ports in intermodal hinterland systems<br>
* Concurrent and parallel computing for large-scale logistics
planning<br>
* Information systems supporting big data/cloud technology for
logistical decision support<br>
