This Special Issue invites authors to submit articles focusing on
optimization methods that rely on learning techniques to address problems
in logistics and transportation. Theoretical papers are acceptable,
provided that they have case studies/numerical examples in the
logistics/transportation field; models and algorithms that utilize learning
to better understand the problem structure, physics, and behavior fall in
the scope of the special session. We are particularly interested in
contributions that are comprehensive enough to also cover or address
problems in logistics and supply chains, that consider sustainability, IoT,
electric vehicles, energy efficiency, and other relevant areas. We welcome
both original research and review articles. Possible contributions may
include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
§ Enhancing classical methods via ML
§ Markov Decision Process
§ Neural methods
§ Learning for primal-dual techniques
§ Reinforcement learning based methods,
§ Novel classes of methods.
