Call for Papers

 

The workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS) is an annual event bringing together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transportation optimization. The workshop provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques and ideas from mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research. Applicable tools and concepts include those from graph and network algorithms, combinatorial optimization, approximation and online algorithms, stochastic and robust optimization.

ATMOS 2018 will be part of ALGO 2018, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, IPEC, WABI, and WAOA.

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages (including title page and abstract, but not counting references and an optional appendix). Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs style file. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints can be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submisson system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos18. The submission must be received by June 17, 2018. By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2018 or ATMOS 2018, attend the conference, and present the paper.

DISSEMINATION, AWARDS

The proceedings of ATMOS 2018 will be published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).

Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of 'NETWORKS'.

There will be a BEST PAPER award as well as a BEST VGI PAPER award for the paper that best leverages volunteered geographic information in meaningful and novel ways.
