2.2. INVITED SPEAKER

Carlo Mannino, Università di Roma "La Sapienza"

2.3. TOPICS

We invite papers for presentation at the workshop on optimization problems for passenger and freight transport, including -- but not limited to :

• Infrastructure Planning
• Vehicle Scheduling
• Crew and Duty Scheduling
• Rostering
• Routing in Road Networks
• Novel Applications of Route Planning Techniques
• Demand Forecasting
• Design of Tariff Systems
• Delay Management
• Mobile Applications
• Humanitarian Logistics
• Simulation Tools
• Line Planning
• Timetable Generation
• Routing and Platform Assignment

Of particular interest are : the successful integration of several (sub)problems or planning stages, algorithms operating in an online /realtime or stochastic setting, and heuristic approaches (including approximation algorithms) for real-world instances.

2.4. SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages. 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 at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2011. The submission must be received by 23:59 (GMT) on June 24, 2011. Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

2.5. PROCEEDINGS

Online proceedings will be available in the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
