SCOPE
-----

ATMOS is an annual workshop bringing together researchers and
practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods
and models for transportation optimization.

The workshop provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of
new ideas and techniques 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.

* Delay Management
* Routing in Road Networks
* 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. Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs
style (http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz). 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=atmos2014
The submission must be received by June 22, 2014. Each accepted paper
must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

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

The proceedings will be published online and as open-access in the
Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
