[DMANET] ATMOS 2010: 1st Call for Papers

10TH WORKSHOP ON ALGORITHMIC APPROACHES FOR TRANSPORTATION
MODELING, OPTIMIZATION, AND SYSTEMS (ATMOS)


University of Liverpool, United Kingdom, September 9, 2010
http://algo2010.csc.liv.ac.uk/atmos.php

** CALL FOR PAPERS

The ATMOS 2010 workshop will be held in connection with ALGO 2010 in
University of Liverpool, United Kingdom, on September 9, 2010.

Since 2000, the series of ATMOS workshops brings together researchers
and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic
methods and models for transportation optimization and provides a
forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques.

Transportation networks give rise to very complex and large-scale
network optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques
and ideas from mathematical optimization, theoretical computer
science, and operations research. Applicable tools and concepts
include those from graph and network algorithms, combinatorial
optimization, approximation and online algorithms, stochastic and
robust optimization.

The scope of the workshop comprises all modes of transportation.


** INVITED SPEAKER

Alberto Caprara, University of Bologna


** IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: June 8, 2010
Notification to Authors: July 8, 2010
Final Version due: August 22, 2010
Workshop: September 9, 2010


** 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.


** 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=atmos2010. The submission
must be received by 23:59 (GMT) on June 8, 2010. Each accepted paper
must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.


** PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings will be published online on the Dagstuhl Research
Online Publication Server (DROPS) (http://drops.dagstuhl.de/)
