CALL FOR PAPERS

11TH WORKSHOP ON ALGORITHMIC APPROACHES FOR TRANSPORTATION
MODELING, OPTIMIZATION, AND SYSTEMS (ATMOS)

September 8, 2011
Saarbruecken, GERMANY

http://atmos2011.mpi-inf.mpg.de/

------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-----

The ATMOS 2011 workshop will be held in connection with ALGO 2011,
hosted by Max Planck Institut fuer Informatik, which will take place
in Saarbruecken, on September 8, 2011.

Since 2000, the series of ATMOS workshops brings together researchers
and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic
methods and models for transportation optimization and provides a
forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques.

Transportation networks give rise to very complex and large-scale
network optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques
and ideas from mathematical optimization, theoretical computer
science, and operations research. Applicable tools and concepts
include those from graph and network algorithms, combinatorial
optimization, approximation and online algorithms, stochastic and
robust optimization.

The scope of the workshop comprises all modes of transportation.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 24, 2011, 23:59 GMT
NOTIFICATION OF AUTHORS: July 29, 2011
CAMERA READY SUBMISSION: August 26, 2011
WORKSHOP DATE: September 8, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS
------
We invite papers for presentation at the workshop on optimization
problems for passenger and freight transport, including -- but not
limited to:

* Infrastructure Planning
* Vehicle Scheduling
* Crew and Duty Scheduling
* Rostering
* Routing in Road Networks
* Novel Applications of Route Planning Techniques
* Demand Forecasting
* Design of Tariff Systems
* Delay Management
* Mobile Applications
* Humanitarian Logistics
* Simulation Tools
* Line Planning
* Timetable Generation
* Routing and Platform Assignment

Of particular interest are: the successful integration of several
(sub)problems or planning stages, algorithms operating in an
online/realtime or stochastic setting, and heuristic approaches
(including approximation algorithms) for real-world instances.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
-----------
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of
at most 12 pages. 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 at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2011. The submission
must be received by 23:59 (GMT) on June 24, 2011. Each accepted
paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEEDINGS
-----------
The proceedings will be published on the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series
in Informatics (OASIcs) publication service.
