Dear EWGLA Members, as announced during the last EWGLA Meeting, we are pleased to inform you about the first official release of our software library “*LoLoLA*” – *L*ibrary *o*f *Lo*cation and *L*ayout *A*lgorithms. The library and all related information can be downloaded from www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~lolola. The software is released under the /GNU General Public License /and, therefore, the source code is available for downloading and modifying. Instructions on how to install the library and which algorithms are available can be found in the documentation. Moreover, an executable for the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows is provided. If you have any questions or have a feedback/bug report, feel free to write an email to lolola(a)mathematik.uni-kl.de. Note, that this is a Beta-release. We are thankful for every comment and suggestion for improvement. If you want to be informed about updates of LoLoLA do not forget to check "Receive notifications for new releases" on the download page. Best regards, Horst W. Hamacher, Philipp Heßler, Andrea Maier University of Kaiserslautern, Germany and Aleksandra Gross (now Cambridge, Great-Britain) -- ****************************************************** Prof. Dr. Horst W.

CfP: GPRA 2016 - Special Issue in "International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics"
by Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Dear colleagues, As announced in the Global Port Research Alliance Conference (GPRA 2016), we cordially invite you to prepare an extended version of your work for the Special Issue on: “Decision Analytics in Port and Shipping Logistics” (guest editors: Eduardo Lalla-Ruiz, Xiaoning Shi, and Stefan Voß) in the "International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics". This special issue will examine how the gap between new research trends in decision analytics and the current challenges faced by port and shipping logistics can be reduced, while addressing maritime terminal and shipping logistic problems from different standpoints. There are complex obstacles faced by the port sector and related shipping industries. Therefore, this SI invites original works dealing with critical topics and uses lines of research to assess, support, and improve port and shipping logistics operations. The submissions are expected to add new materials and content matching this scope as well as the following (and related) topics: * Empirical and simulation studies contributing and providing different perspectives and scenarios in ports and shipping transport * Solid mathematical modelling and/or algorithms addressing relevant and complex logistic problems at maritime terminals * Application of predictive models and optimisation to improve current port logistic solutions and the shipping trade * The use of the latest data mining, analysis, and management techniques to support terminal managers in the decision process * Application of statistical methods, data visualisation techniques and pattern recognition approaches to deepen the knowledge of port logistics operations * New perspectives on challenges at container terminals, opportunities that may arise, and findings using data from real cases The “International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics” is indexed in Social Science Citation Index, Journal Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition, SCOPUS, etc. Deadline for submission: October 15, 2016. Completion of the refereeing process is expected at the beginning of 2017. Manuscripts should be submitted via http://www.inderscience.com/info/inauthors/author_submit.php. There, you can find the special issue under Global Port Research Alliance Conference (GPRA 2016): Special Issue on: “Decision Analytics in Port and Shipping Logistics” on the pulldown menu during the submission process. If you are unable to find the issue on the menu, please enter the names of the guest editors and the title of the special issue in the “Notes” box (Part D) in step 1 of the submission process. We look forward receiving your extended version until 15 of October, 2016. Best regards, Dr. Eduardo Lalla-Ruiz, Dr. Xiaoning Shi, and Prof. Dr. Stefan Voß
