[DMANET] CFP: COR Special Issue in Mine Planning

------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues

I am writing on behalf of Andreas Ernst, Gaurav Singh and Graham Kendall.
We are guest-editing a Special Issue of Computers and OR on "Recent
Advances in Mine Planning, Scheduling and Optimisation: Theory and
Applications".

You are receiving this email because we believe that this COR Special Issue
will be of interest to you and your research group.

The kinds of topics that are of interest to the COR Special Issue are (but
not limited to):
• surface mining operations,
• underground mining planning and scheduling models,
• optimal design of mining phases (pushbacks),
• mine asset maintenance and utilisation,
• mine supply chain optimisation,
• long term life of asset optimisation,
• open pit mine scheduling,
• coordination in mining supply chains,
• large scale optimization,
• decision making under uncertainty,
• applications in cloud computing via IoT, and
• case-studies in mine planning and optimisation.

Please find the Call for Papers in the URL below:
