E-mail: it4l2015 at fedcsis.org

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to IT4L 2015 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2015).

FedCSIS a yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish 
Information Processing Society (PTI) in cooperation with the IEEE Region 
8, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, European Alliance 
for Innovation, Lodz ACM Chapter, Polish Operational and Systems 
Research Society - POSRS, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster 
ICT (further technical collaborations will be announced shortly).

The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers 
and practitioners to present and discuss current issues concerning use 
of ICT in logistic applications (hardware and software). There will be 
also an opportunity for hardware integrators, software developers and 
logistics companies to demonstrate their solutions, as well as 
achievements, in different logistic systems.

TOPICS
=======================================

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Innovations in information systems supporting logistics and its 
management (WMS, SCM, TMS, LIS, VMI, CRP, PLM, and others)
- Innovative technologies in warehouse management: RFID, Voice - 
Picking, Image Recognition, Pick Radar, etc.
- Logistics process modeling, including influence of warehouse automatic
- Optimization of logistics processes:
   * optimal vehicle routing and management, boundary conditions
   * optimal picking routing (global optimization, fast search, 
collision prediction and prevention)
   * shared mobility systems
   * day-to-day dynamic traffic assignment models
   * effective methods of picking (multi picking, batch picking ect.)
   * relationships between picking efficiency and products decomposition 
in warehouse area
- Environmental protection (for example carbon-aware transportation)
- Artificial intelligence systems and decision support systems in logistics
- BI, data mining and process mining in logistics
- Quality management algorithms and methods
- Material Flow Theory and applications
