The objective of this
conference is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the latest developments
in the field of logistics
and maritime systems among
participants from universities and related industries, and to seek opportunities
for collaboration
among the
participants. Logistics activities worldwide have been rapidly increasing. As a
result, global freight networks are
emerging which combine maritime
transport, inland waterways and onshore road and rail transportation systems.
The first conference of this
series took place in Busan, Korea in 2010 integrating
various predecessor conferences like the
International Conference on
Intelligent Logistics Systems (IILS), held in Busan,
Korea (2005), Brisbane, Australia (2006),
Kitakyushu, Japan (2007),
Shanghai, China (2008), and Gold Coast, Australia (2009), and the Supply Chain
Management
(MLOG) conference held in Singapore
(2008).
The program committee and the
international advisory committee of LOGMS 2012 cordially invite you to submit
your paper to
this conference.
All papers related to theoretical developments and applications of logistics
and maritime systems are
welcome.
Application case studies from industry
are especially welcome. Topics could
include (but are not limited to) areas such as the
following:
·
Performance measures and efficiency analysis in
logistics systems
·
Optimization modeling and simulation analysis of
logistics systems
· Design of
transportation networks
· Multi-modal
