[PROGRAMME LINK]

The Organization Committee (OC) and the Chairs of ALGO 2020 decided to run the conferences online in a virtual way. What is most important is that the scientific activity of the Programme Committees of the ALGO conferences is not suspended or stopped: peer review, accepted papers, camera ready and proceedings will be accomplished as usual. Instructions for authors on how to give their talks online in the virtual room will be provided.

Scope

The Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems is an international forum for researchers in the area of optimization methods and algorithms to facilitate planning and operational management of freight and passenger transportation and traffic. It is colocated with ALGO 2020.

Important Dates

  • Paper submission deadline: 1 July, 2020
  • Notification: 31 July, 2020
  • Conference: 7-8 September, 2020, in Pisa, Italy

Call for Papers

ATMOS brings together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transport optimization. The symposium 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 algorithms, mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research.

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages (including title page and abstract, but excluding references and an optional appendix) via the EasyChair submission system at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2020

Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs style file: https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors

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 submission system. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2020, attend the conference, and present the paper. Attendance and presentation can be either physical (if there are no safety concerns due to the covid-19), or virtual (in case of remaining safety concerns or travel restrictions).
