5th European Event on Evolutionary Computation in Transportation and Logistics
The impact of transportation and logistics on the modern economy and society has been growing steadily over the last few decades. The worldwide division of labour, the connection of distributed production centres, and the increased mobility of individuals lead to an increased demand for efficient solutions to problems in transport, logistics, and supply chain management.
Along with the development of more powerful computer systems, design and optimisation techniques like evolutionary computing approaches have been developed that allow us to use computers for the systematic design, optimisation, and improvement of systems. evotranslog, Evolutionary Computation in Transportation and Logistics, addresses all aspects of the use of evolutionary computation, local search, and other nature-inspired optimisation and design techniques for transport, logistics, and supply chain management.
evotranslog gives researchers in the above-named fields, as well as people from industry, an opportunity to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and applications, besides fostering closer future interaction between members of different scientific communities.
Areas of Interest and Contributions
Relevant application topics include (but are not limited to):
transportation and supply networks
logistics
supply chain management
freight and passenger services
tracking and tracing
fleet and order management
modelling and traffic management
traffic simulation
individual and public transportation
inventory optimisation
routing and scheduling
Publication Details
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of evo*, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which will be available at the Conference.
Submission Details
Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.
The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format.
