EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics (EJTL)
Special issue: Data analytics in logistics and transportation
Guest editors: Y. Adulyasak, J.-Fr. Cordeau and A. Lodi

Deadline to submit manuscripts: January 15, 2016

Over the past two decades, the increase in the size and complexity of logistics and transportation networks has been accompanied by a similar growth in the amount of data available to decision makers. This growth is largely fueled by developments in information technologies, in particular the widespread use of sensors, tracking devices, and mobile communication equipment. The abundance of up-to-date information not only improves visibility and traceability but also creates opportunities for the development of decision-support tools to improve the design, planning and control of logistics and transportation activities. This special issue aims at reporting on new models, algorithms and case studies related to the use of data analytics in the field of logistics and transportation. We are particularly interested in methods combining ideas from statistics, econometrics, optimization and simulation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

-- Descriptive analytics and knowledge discovery: methods and algorithms to analyze large-scale datasets with the objective of identifying relationships, interactions and dependencies between different components in a logistics or transportation system (e.g., analysis of throughput and shipment data to make slotting and space allocation decisions in a warehouse);
-- Predictive analytics: statistical and data mining techniques to model and predict demand, travel times, lead times, trends, risks and other factors necessary for the planning and operation of logistics and transportation networks, both for freight and passengers;
-- Data-driven decision algorithms: optimization algorithms that make use of information extracted from large-scale datasets, algorithms that make decisions under uncertainty, and machine-learning algorithms applied to problems arising in the areas of production planning, inventory control, warehousing, and distribution management;
-- Data-driven business models: new optimization models that are centered on a new understanding of applications in logistics and transportation due to the availability and analysis of collected data;
Industrial applications of data analytics: innovative and successful applications of data analytics techniques to practical problems in logistics and transportation.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Elsevier - Pervasive and Mobile Computing
Special Issue on
Pervasive Social Computing
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-papers/

Submission Deadline: 30 November 2015

Pervasive Social Computing represents a new paradigm resulting from
the convergence of Pervasive Mobile Computing with Social Networking;
it aims to take advantage of human social relationships to enable the
attainment of users' tasks in different domains. On the one hand, the
impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making
OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between
people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices
with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel
patterns of users interactions through social networks, also depending
on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least,
pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social
networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks.
The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading
scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science
to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze,
study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological
solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive
Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary
approaches, that exploit models of the users personal and social
behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications.

The special issue aims to encourage the multidisciplinary discussion
involving academics, researchers and professionals on theories,
approaches, analysis, design and evaluation of services and networking
solutions for Pervasive Social Computing. Researchers are increasingly
interested in addressing a wide range of Pervasive Social Computing
challenges residing in Social networks and Social Computing systems
including: their architecture, algorithms and protocols for social
networking services, the creation of new analysis models, the
monitoring of emerging trends, studies on trust, privacy and security
issues and their potential applications.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
- Security, privacy and trust in Pervasive Social Computing systems
- Innovative Pervasive Social Computing services and applications
- Architectures, algorithms and protocols for Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Mobile networking solutions for Pervasive Social Computing
- Context modeling, reasoning and context awareness in Pervasive
Social Computing
- Pervasive sensing technologies applied to Pervasive Social Computing
- Opportunistic networking for Pervasive Social Computing
- Innovative Mobile Social Networking technologies and services
- Inter-disciplinary approaches to the design of Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Analysis of users social interactions in mobile and pervasive social
networks
- Novel Online Social Networking services and users' behaviors enabled
by pervasive mobile networks
- Real experiences and experiments with Pervasive Social Computing
systems and applications
- Opportunistic and transient social interactions in Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Social and economic models for Pervasive Social Computing systems
- Pervasive and social collaboration tools
- Impacts of Pervasive Social Computing on users' behaviour in
different domains (e.g. e-business, e-market, e-learning, e-health)

publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that
appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over
what appeared previously (at least 30% new and significant material).
Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant,
previously published articles and a summary document explaining the
enhancements made in the journal version. In addition, such papers
must be referenced, and the difference clearly explained, in the
submitted paper.
