Planning and Scheduling in City Logistics Optimization
This special issue belongs to the section "E2: Control Theory and Mechanics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The trends in digitalization and integration in city logistics are challenging the modern business environment. Facing disruption and uncertainty, various managerial problems require the development of innovative and sustainable mathematical models and algorithms. The Special Issue will cover a wide range of application areas including healthcare management, waste management, environmental management, emergency management, green logistics, smart supply chain etc.
We invite researchers to submit their latest research on the above areas. We are looking for novel, innovative, and sustainable approaches to solving real problems. Submissions are welcome presenting new applications, theoretical results, and new models.
