19th Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS)
10th - 15th July, 2011
Melbourne, Australia

Invited Stream on Vehicle Routing

The IFORS Conference in Melbourne promises to be an exciting meeting with a
strong programme covering many areas of Operational Research.
We are organising an invited stream on Vehicle Routing. This includes all aspects of the topic including:
- arc routing
- location-routing
- routing with environmental objectives

- inventory routing

- VRP for humanitarian needs (or organizations)

- "Rich" VRP's (i.e. Real-world routing, with real-world constraints)

- combined problems, e.g. VRP with supply chain

- time-dependent travel times

- VRPs with stochastic aspects

- dynamic (and/or on-line) aspects of VRP

- and other related themes.

If you would like to organise an invited session of four papers or would
like to submit a paper to our stream, please contact one of us as soon as possible.

The deadline is 31st of January 2011.

We hope to see you in Melbourne.
