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

Behavioural OR Fall Workshop, Marburg

This is to inform about the upcoming Fall Workshop of the European Working Group on Behavioural Operational Research (BOR) to be held on 06-07 October 2025 in Marburg, Germany.

Please note: A limited number of scholarships for students, each in the amount of €300, will be available. Further information regarding eligibility and the application process will be provided in due course.

The BOR community aims to provide guidance to European OR academics, teachers and practitioners for developing effective OR-supported interventions by investigating and sharing behavioural-based explanations of the factors that shape the practice of modelling, model use and model results communication.

Please find details for submitting your abstract and attending in the details. The program will be updated continuously.

Hoping to meeting you there!

Host and organizer from our COB is Michael Leyer.

Kaiserslautern Applied and Industrial Mathematics Days – KLAIM

The third edition of the

Kaiserslautern Applied an Industrial Mathematics Days – KLAIM

will take place in Kaiserslautern, Germany, from October 6th-8th, 2025.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for applied mathematicians from academia, research labs and industry to exchange ideas and to showcase recent results. This year’s edition of KLAIM will put emphasis on Coupled Problems. This focus topic reflects the ever increasing complexity in today’s simulation and optimization methods where different problem stages, different scales, or different physical domains and effects are connected in various ways.

The workshop is hosted jointly by the Fraunhofer-Institute for Industrial Mathematics and the Department of Mathematics at the RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau.

The program is structured along the tracks:

  1. Coupling across scales – multiscale methods in the materials sciences (Organized in collaboration with the French-German Graduate School Mathematical image processing and synthetic microstructures for machine learning)
  2. Coupling across domains – multiphysics simulation
  3. Co-simulation and control in coupled engineering applications (Organized in collaboration with the ECMI Special Interest Group Math for the Digital Factory)
  4. Coupled discrete and bilevel optimization problems
  5. Solver coupling and high performance computing

Additionally, a special session on Success stories from collaboration projects with industry will be organized by the European Network EU-MATHS-IN.

In collaboration with the open access journal Computational Science and Engineering (Editor-in-Chief Peter Benner), we plan a special issue that will comprise a selection of peer-reviewed contributions to KLAIM 2025.

For an overview of the keynote speakers and the Scientific Committee, please see the Call for Papers.

Registration
Registration opens on May 1st, 2025. We invite prospective speakers to submit a one-page abstract to one of the above tracks. Please follow the instructions at the website below for the registration and submission procedure.
