ATMOS 2019: Call for papers
19th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, Optimization, and Systems

12-13 September 2019, Munich, Germany - ATMOS 2019 will be part of ALGO 2019
https://algo2019.ak.in.tum.de/


ATMOS – The Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems is an international forum for researchers in the area of optimization methods and algorithms to facilitate planning and operational management of freight and passenger transportation and traffic.
The symposium brings together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transport optimization. The symposium provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques and ideas from mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research. Tools and methodologies include those from graph and network algorithms, combinatorial optimization, approximation and online algorithms, stochastic and robust optimization.

SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages (including title page and abstract, but not counting references and an optional appendix). Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs style file:
www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/oasics/instructions-for-authors/<http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/oasics/instructions-for-authors/>

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 via the EasyChair submisson system at
https:easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2019

The submission must be received by June 26, 2019. By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2019 or ATMOS 2019, attend the conference, and present the paper.

----------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATION
The proceedings of ATMOS 2019 will be published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
There will be a Best Paper Award.
