[DMANET] Call for papers: ATMOS 2013 (Frigioni/Stiller)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

13th WORKSHOP ON ALGORITHMIC APPROACHES FOR TRANSPORTATION MODELLING,
OPTIMIZATION, AND SYSTEMS (ATMOS 2013)

September 5, 2013, Sophia Antipolis, France

http://algo2013.inria.fr/atmos.shtml

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-----

The ATMOS 2013 workshop will be held in connection with ALGO 2013 in
Sophia Antipolis, France on September 5, 2013.

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.

The scope of the workshop comprises all modes of transportation.

* Traffic Guidance

The workshop welcomes but is not limited to papers applying and advancing
the following techniques: Graph and Network Algorithms, Combinatorial
Optimization, Mathematical Programming, Approximation Algorithms, Methods
for the Integration of Planning Stages, Stochastic and Robust Optimization,
Online and Real-time Algorithms, Algorithmic Game Theory, Heuristics for
Real-world Instances, Simulation Tools.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
-----------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of
at most 12 pages. Papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs
(http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz) style
file. 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
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2013.
The submission must be received by June 23, 2013. Each
accepted paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the
authors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEEDINGS
-----------

The proceedings will be published on the Dagstuhl Open Access Series
in Informatics (OASIcs) publication service.
