Advanced Models and Applications of Logistics & Manufacturing

 

Track at the International Conference on Harbour, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation

(HMS 2011)

 

Track Chairs: (a)Teresa Murino, (b)Liberatina Santillo

 

Affiliation: (a) (b)University of Naples Federico II (Italy)

 

Contacts: (a) murino@unina.it, (b)santillo@unina.it

 

 

Track Description

The track is dedicated to research papers on theoretical analysis and applications concerning logistics and manufacturing. This track is a forum for presenting results of the international research and development work dealing with applications of optimization methods of the entire production system over the whole product and processes life cycle, from the design, through the manufacturing and maintenance, to the distribution and service. The simulation modelling offer logistics and manufacturing companies the ability to visualise, analyse and predict the impact of suggested changes, prior to implementation.

Authors' Guidelines (further information author’s instruction section)

FIRST SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (minimum 2 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process through the submission section by May 20, 2011 (Extended).

The extended abstract or the full draft paper must contain title, authors, affiliations, addresses, main body and references.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

 

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by June 10, 2011.

 

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference template. The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must be submitted by using the submission section before the July 20, 2011 (Deadline Extended)

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included  in the author registration fee). Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by  your institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that  process will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it in the CD Conference Proceedings.
