The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Innovations in information systems supporting logistics and its management (WMS, SCM, TMS, LIS, VMI, CRP, PLM, and others)
- Innovative technologies in warehouse management: RFID, Voice - Picking, Image Recognition, Pick Radar, etc.
- Logistics process modeling, including influence of warehouse automatic
- Optimization of logistics processes:
* optimal vehicle routing and management, boundary conditions
* optimal picking routing (global optimization, fast search, collision prediction and prevention)
* shared mobility systems
* day-to-day dynamic traffic assignment models
* effective methods of picking (multi picking, batch picking ect.)
* relationships between picking efficiency and products decomposition in warehouse area
- Environmental protection (for example carbon-aware transportation)
