International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026), Bremen

The 10th edition of the International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026) will be held in Bremen (Germany) from February 25 to 27, 2026.

================================

Scope of the Conference

Dynamics of logistic processes and networks are at the heart of the conference. We invite empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practice-oriented contributions addressing the modeling, planning, optimization and control of processes in supply chains, logistic networks, production systems, and material flow systems and facilities.

LDIC 2026 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.

================================

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following within production, logistics, and supply chain management:

  • Dynamics and complexity
  • Modeling and optimization
  • Uncertainty, risk, resilience, and performance
  • Supply chain management and global disruptions
  • Strategic decision making, auctions, game theory
  • Multi-modal transportation networks
  • Maritime logistics and port operations
  • Sustainable and green logistics
  • Urban and last mile logistics
  • Humanitarian logistics, disaster management
  • Smart production and material flow systems
  • Digitalization, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins
  • Artificial intelligence, data science, and IT platforms
  • New work in logistics, human-technology interaction
  • Industry 5.0 / Logistics 5.0

================================

Submission and Publication

Authors are invited to submit their contribution in one of the following
formats:

  • A full paper with up to fifteen pages – excluding author details
    and references – which will be considered for publication in Springer’s “Lecture Notes in Logistics”, one of the most downloaded Springer books, indexed by Scopus, Web of Science (ISI), ACM DL, and DBLP. Full papers must contain original research, which must not yet have been published elsewhere. Full papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed.
  • An abstract (for presentation only) with up to 250 words –
    excluding author details and references – which will appear in the Book of Abstracts that will be provided to participants at the conference.

The submission system – including author instructions and Springer’s template – will open soon.

================================

Deadlines for full papers

  • Submission of full papers: October 1, 2025
  • Notification of review results: November 15, 2025
  • Submission of revised, camera-ready full paper: December 10, 2025
  • Publication of conference proceedings: February 2026

GOR-AG Analytics: Science meets Business – OR als Innovationsmotor, Duisburg

Science meets Business – Operations Research als Innovationsmotor | 25.11.2025 | Campus Duisburg

Das Zentrum für Logistik und Verkehr (ZLV) der Universität Duisburg-Essen und die GOR-Arbeitsgruppe „Analytics“ laden herzlich ein zu einer Veranstaltung, die Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft
zusammenbringt.

Die Märkte von morgen sind geprägt von Unsicherheiten: steigenden Energiekosten, knappen Ressourcen, komplexen Lieferketten und dynamischer Nachfrage. Für Start-ups und KMU aus dem Logistik- und Technologiebereich bedeutet das: Entscheidungen müssen schneller, smarter und datenbasiert getroffen werden, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und nachhaltig zu wachsen.

Genau hier setzt Operations Research (OR) an – mit wissenschaftlich fundierten Methoden, die komplexe Probleme in der Praxis lösen helfen. Ob bei der optimalen Routenplanung, der effizienten Produktionsoptimierung, der strategischen Lagerhaltung, der dynamischen Preisgestaltung oder der nachhaltigen Gestaltung von Lieferketten: OR bietet mathematische Modelle, Algorithmen und Datenanalysen, um Ressourcen besser einzusetzen, Risiken zu minimieren und
Wachstumspotenziale zu erschließen.

Im Zuge der Veranstaltung, organisiert gemeinsam von der Arbeitsgruppe „Analytics“ der Gesellschaft für Operations Research (GOR) und dem Zentrum für Logistik und Verkehr (ZLV) der Universität Duisburg-Essen, werden wir in einem interaktiven Format konkrete Herausforderungen aus der Praxis diskutieren – und zeigen, wie methodische Ansätze aus dem Bereich OR dabei unterstützen können.

Science meets Business bietet die Gelegenheit, sich mit Expert*innen aus Forschung und Praxis auszutauschen, neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen und den Grundstein für zukünftige Kooperationen zu legen – etwa in Form studentischer Abschlussarbeiten oder gemeinsamer Forschungsprojekte.

Termin: 25.11.2025
Uhrzeit: 09:00–14:00 Uhr
Ort: Gerhard-Mercator-Haus, Campus Duisburg
Anmeldung: zlv@uni-due.de

Mit herzlichen Grüßen
Prof. Dr. Jochen Gönsch & Prof. Dr. Rouven Schur
