SCOPE
The 24th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation
Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2024) will be part of ALGO
2024 (https://algo-conference.org/2024/), which will take place at the
Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, United Kingdom. ATMOS is
scheduled on 5-6 September 2024.
Since 2000, ATMOS 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 algorithms, mathematical optimization, theoretical computer
science, and operations research.
ATMOS PLENARY TALK
SPEAKER: Eduardo Uchoa, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niteroi, Brazil
TITLE: Exact Algorithms for Vehicle Routing: advances, challenges,
and perspectives
ABSTRACT: The vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is among the most widely
studied problems in operations research and combinatorial optimization.
The current state-of-the-art exact VRP algorithms employ a combination
of column generation and cut separation, known as Branch-Cut-and-Price
(BCP) algorithms. This presentation examines notable recent
contributions made by various researchers in the field. Additionally,
the talk showcases VRPSolver, a very flexible package that implements a
BCP algorithm that achieves outstanding performance for many routing,
packing, and scheduling problems. Furthermore, VRPSolverEasy, a recent
Python application built on top of VRPSolver, is introduced. While
heuristic algorithms are likely to remain the dominant approach for
practical routing, the availability of exact solutions for reasonably
sized instances opens up new possibilities.

SUBMISSIONS
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting
original unpublished research in the topics related to the symposium.
Simultaneous submission to other journals or conferences with published
proceedings is not allowed. By submitting a paper the authors
acknowledge that, in case of acceptance, at least one of the authors
will register at ALGO/ATMOS 2024, attend the conference on-site, and
present the paper.
Submissions must be in the form of a single PDF file prepared using the
LaTeX OASIcs style file
(https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/oasics) and must
be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2024).
ATMOS 2024 accepts two types of submissions, both of which will be
reviewed with the same quality standards by the Program Committee.
(a) REGULAR PAPER SUBMISSIONS: A regular paper submission should clearly
motivate the importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior
work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state
its key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods
used to achieve the main results. A regular paper submission should not
exceed 12 pages including title page and abstract, but excluding
references and an optional appendix. Authors should include all
necessary details in their submission so that the Program Committee can
judge the correctness, importance and originality of their work. Any
material (e.g., proofs or experimental results) omitted (from the main
part of 12 pages) due to space limitations can be put into the optional
appendix, which will be read at the Program Committee's discretion.
Regular papers will be allotted up to 20 pages in the proceedings.
(b) SHORT PAPER SUBMISSIONS: A short paper submission may present
preliminary results or work-in-progress on a specific topic. Authors
should clearly motivate the importance of the problem being addressed,
discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and
precisely state the paper's key contributions, and outline the key
technical ideas and methods used to achieve the main claims. A short
paper submission should have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. Authors
should provide sufficient details in their submission so that the
Program Committee can judge the correctness, importance and originality
of their work. Short papers will be allotted upto 6 pages in the
proceedings.
PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings will be published on the Dagstuhl Open Access Seriesin
Informatics (OASIcs) publication service.
