CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
===================================================================================
1st Interdisciplinary Conference on Production, Logistics, and Traffic (ICPLT 2013)
Dynamic and Seamless Integration. Future Trends, Future Solutions.
March 20-21, 2013. Darmstadt, Germany
http://icplt.org/
===================================================================================
Early registration deadline: December 15, 2012
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Megatrends like increasing volatility, digitalization, globalization and urbanization bring up new challenges
for production, logistics, and traffic. Companies increasingly benefit from complex global value networks.
At the same time transport infrastructure reaches its limits due to rising freight transport. As a consequence
transport and mobility is constrained and traffic becomes a limiting factor in production. Therefore, public
authorities that want to tackle these effects have to consider developments in Production and Logistics.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
In that sense, the objective of the ICPLT 2013 is to build a dialog platform among members from different industries
as well as scientists and public authorities, interested in future solutions for handling the growing interdependencies
between production, logistics, and traffic and developing possible solutions.
KEY TOPICS
The two-day conference with more than 20 expert speakers from production, logistics,
and traffic will deal with interdisciplinary questions on the following core topics:
* Urban Production and Logistics
* Enablement through Integration of Systems in Production, Logistics, and Traffic
* Organizing Traffic Management of the Future
* Distributed Value Creation
The conference follows a series of workshops with more than 40 invited experts.
