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

HICSS-50: Minitrack Proposal “Intelligent Decision Support and Big Data for Logistics and Supply Chain Management”
by Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

(Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS Fiftieth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-50) January 4-7, 2017 (Wednesday-Saturday) Hilton Waikoloa Village (http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com) Submission deadline: June 15, 2016, 11:59 PM Hawaii Time HICSS-50: Minitrack Proposal (within the Decision Analytics, Mobile and Service Science Track): “Intelligent Decision Support and Big Data for Logistics and Supply Chain Management” The minitrack features theoretical developments, real-world applications and information systems related to solving decision problems in logistics and supply chain management. Methods include optimization, heuristics, meta-heuristics and matheuristics, simulation, agent technologies, and descriptive methods. Recent advances incorporating big data and cloud computing are especially welcome. Minitrack description: Information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) are prerequisites and enablers for successful supply chain management (SCM). With related advances, the logistics and SCM field is developing very dynamically. Business-to-business transactions are made via the Internet and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems support managing the transactional information within the enterprise. Cooperation and coordination is only possible based on IT and IS. While IT and IS are vital components in supply chains, their successful management rests on intelligent and coordinated decision making throughout the logistics network. Intelligent decision support and decision analytics using advanced decision technologies and analytics methodology are of utmost importance in logistics and SCM. Sensor networks, social network activities, RFID deployment, internet search histories and retail transactions are just a few examples of sources to provide data to support efficient decision analytics. Big data issues are well recognized and offer opportunities long waited for but also provide challenges in handling and decision analytics. Cloud computing allows also small and medium sized enterprises to access resources to support analytics functions. Business intelligence and data mining can be used to store and analyze logistics, product, inventory, and sales information. Simulation and optimization, which can be found in advanced planning and scheduling systems, can be employed for, e.g., inventory, production, procurement, and distribution planning. Intelligent agents can, e.g., communicate with different partners in the supply chain, assist in collecting information, share product information, negotiate prices, and distribute alerts throughout the logistics networks. The design and implementation of intelligent decision analytics tools to support human agents in computational logistics and SCM is a very active field in research, consulting and software development. Many such technologies or systems are continuously being developed, implemented and used in real-world scenarios. We do, therefore, believe that this minitrack will be recognized by both the scientific community and practitioners developing or using logistics and SCM solutions. We aim at organizing a minitrack consisting of two sessions depending on the number of high quality submissions. We seek papers dealing with decision analytics, business intelligence, big data, cloud computing and decision technologies which contribute to intelligent decision support in the whole field of logistics and in particular in all categories of SCM. This includes but is not restricted to simulation, optimization, heuristics, metaheuristics, agent technologies, decision analytics, descriptive models, and data mining. We are especially interested in real-world applications and in information systems and software solutions which assist in solving decision problems. This is extended towards, e.g., computational logistics, advanced planning systems and the intelligent use of ERP systems. Also conceptual ideas, reports on projects in progress, and case studies are welcome. Moreover, teaching cases both at the university as well as the executive level may be of interest. For additional information or to submit abstracts, please contact the minitrack co-chairs: Prof. Dr. Stefan Voß University of Hamburg stefan.voss(a)uni-hamburg.de Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Sebastian RWTH Aachen University sebastian(a)or.rwth-aachen.de Prof. Dr. Julia Pahl University of Southern Denmark julp(a)iti.sdu.dk Full papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library. HICSS publications account for the top 2% downloads of all IEEE conferences, and have been consistently ranked as the most cited papers in top journal publications. Dates for submission to HICSS-50: April 1: Paper Submission and Review System for HICSS-50 goes live. June 15 (11:59 PM, Hawaii Time): Deadline to submit full manuscripts for review. August 16: Acceptance/Rejection notification will be sent to authors. September 4: Submission deadline for AM papers. September 15: Deadline for submitting final manuscript for publication to the Publication System. October 1: At least one author of each paper should register by October 1 in order secure publication in the Conference Proceedings. For further submission information, please see the general HICSS-50 Call for Papers (http://www.hicss.org/#!authors/ccjp)
