[DMANET] Call for Submissions to a Special Session "AI-driven last-mile logistics" of IEEE ITSC-2023

Dear colleagues,

You're sincerely invited to submit your paper to a special session* "AI-driven
last-mile logistics"* of the upcoming IEEE ITSC-2023 (24-28 September,
2023) in Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain.

Please find more detailed information below if you're interested.

https://its.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/submissionwizard.pl?ConfID=81

SUBMIT AS *Special Session Paper* (deadline *May 15, 2023*) USING THE
5-CHARACTER CODE* 65h2n*

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

Conference: 2023 26th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent
Transportation Systems Submission number: 56

Special Session: *"AI-driven last-mile logistics"*

In this special session, we focus on both classical and emerging AI methods
for last-mile logistics. Decision makers often have to make decisions in an
uncertain environment and confront conflicting goals, for example,
improving efficiency (and customer service level) versus reducing
costs/emissions. In addition, lack of robustness of system-generated
solutions would discourage decision makers to apply these solutions in real
world cases.

To provide executable and understandable solutions in real-world
decision-making environment, we encourage and expect to produce high
quality research in traffic disruption forecasting, vehicle routing in an
uncertain environment and a combination of forecasting and planning.

Interesting topics include but not limited to traffic disruption
forecasting and anomaly detection based on historical and real-time
monitoring data, multi-objective optimization, robust optimization,
stochastic optimization, simulation-based methods, learning-based methods,
and explainable artificial intelligence methods in last-mile logistics.

o Topics of interest for the special session

This session aims to gather researchers in the field of artificial
intelligence in last-mile logistics. Interesting topics include but not
limited to

• multi-objective optimization for last-mile delivery

• hyperparameter optimization for last-mile logistics

• learning-based methods for vehicle routing problems

• stochastic/robust optimization in last-mile logistics in an
uncertain environment

• data-driven modeling/optimization for on-demand delivery

• approximate dynamic programming for vehicle routing problems

• explainable artificial intelligence in last-mile logistics

• predictive online optimization for on-demand delivery

• online vehicle routing in crowdsourced delivery

• behavioral operations research in attended home delivery
