Dear locators,

Here is the first annoucnement for the next TSL workshop in Nantes.
Contributions on facility locations under uncertainty are more than welcome.

The LS2N Laboratory, IMT Atlantique and CRC Services, with the support of the National Research Agency (ANR),
are pleased to announce the call for the 12th INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society Workshop (TSL 2024).
The workshop will be held in Nantes, France, from September 25 to 27.

The main theme of the workshop is: Optimizing Transportation and Logistics under Uncertainty

In the ever evolving world of transportation and logistics, there is a growing need to optimize operations under uncertainty.
Decision makers are faced with variable transit times, volatile demand volumes, and fluctuating resource availability.
This increases their need for algorithms that can deal with uncertainty.

We invite submissions that enrich the scientific literature on optimizing transportation and logistics systems in uncertain environments.
This includes, but is not limited to contributions in the following areas:
- stochastic optimization,
- robust optimization,
- simulation-based optimization
- dynamic models,
- time-dependent models,
- data-driven optimization,
- uncertainty modeling.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Researchers interested in giving a presentation are invited to submit an abstract of no more than two pages.
The submission portal will open before February 2024. Acceptance of a presentation will be based on both the quality of the research and its appropriateness to the theme of the workshop.

Please note that the TSL Workshop will be preceded by a Doctoral School on the same topic.
We will offer a special registration rate for PhD students and young researchers who attend both events.
