</div>
<p align="center">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.</p>
<p align="center">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:</p>
