We would like to invite you to the next workshop dedicated
to railway optimization at CPAIOR 2011 to be held at the
Zuse Institute Berlin, Germany, May 24, 2011.
Call for Talks&Participation:
Workshop on "Mathematical Optimization of Railway-Systems"
at the conference CPAIOR 2011 (May 23-27, 2011), in Berlin
http://cpaior2011.zib.de/
The focus of this workshop is on solution techniques for
combinatorial optimization problems, which arise in railway
systems. The main motivation for this workshop is the
observation that railway planning problems can be extremely
difficult to solve optimally with existing methods, while
doing so could result in huge gains, e.g., in terms of cost
reductions or service quality improvements. The organization
committee invites submissions of extended abstracts
(maximal 2 pages) describing original work or current
problems in railway practice. A substantial connection
to real world railway systems is expressly desired, e.g.,
project participation of industrial partners.
At the CPAIOR 2011 we organize a one day workshop on
"Mathematical Optimization of Railway-Systems" to present
and discuss recent developments in this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Network Design,
* Line Planning,
* Timetabling,
* Railway Track Allocation,
* Rolling Stock Planning,
* Shunting,
* Crew Scheduling,
* Re-Scheduling,
* Dispatching,
* and, Real-Time Management.
Submissions:
The workshop offers only a limited number of slots for speakers,
which will be selected by the workshop organizers on the basis of
submitted abstracts. Participation is open to everyone.
Registration to the workshop is required via the CPAIOR conference
registration page. Please send a title and an abstract of your talk
(up to 2 pages) to the workshop organizers: cpaior2011-railways@zib.de.
Accepted contributions (abstracts and presentations) will be published
on the workshop's homepage, given the consent of the authors.
Important dates:
* March 31, 2011, Abstract submission
* April 30, 2011, Notification
Workshop organizers:
Ralf Borndörfer, Zuse Institute Berlin, TU Darmstadt, Germany
Holger Flier, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Martin Fuchsberger, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Thomas Schlechte, Zuse Institute Berlin, Germany
