The spectrum of topics reaches from the modeling, planning and control of processes over supply chain management and maritime logistics to innovative technologies and robotic applications for cyber-physical production and logistics systems. The growing dynamics confronts the area of logistics with completely new challenges: it must become possible to identify, describe and analyze the process changes. Moreover, logistic processes and networks must be revised to be rapidly and flexibly adaptable to continuously changing conditions. LDIC 2018 provides a forum for the discussion of advances in that matter. The conference addresses scientists in logistics, operations research, engineering, and computer science. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in dynamics in logistics.<br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Topics </span></strong>of interest include, but are not limited to:<br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Supply Chain Management and Coordination</span></strong></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- New business models<br>- Collaborative planning and control<br>- Supply chain resilience and risk management<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Maritime Logistics</span></strong></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- Port operations, seaport hinterland transport<br>- Multi-modal transport<br>- Logistics for offshore wind farms<br>- Maritime clusters<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Cyber-physical Production and Logistic Systems</span></strong></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- Internet of things and services<br>- Intelligent transport systems<br>- Distributed planning and control<br>- Sensors and sensor networks<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Robotics in Logistics</span></strong></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- Future visions and applications<br>- Human-robot collaboration<br>- Mobile robots and robot-robot collaboration<br>- On-line planning<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Advanced Modelling Techniques</span></strong></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- Simulation and system dynamics<br>- Automatic model generation and model transformation<br>- Big Data in transport and logistics, data analytics and predictive analytics<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Submissions</span></strong><br>Papers submitted to the main conference must contain original research and should not exceed 5 pages.
