The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the latest developments in the field of logistics

and maritime systems among participants from universities and related industries, and to seek opportunities for collaboration

 among the participants. Logistics activities worldwide have been rapidly increasing. As a result, global freight networks are

emerging which combine maritime transport, inland waterways and onshore road and rail transportation systems.

The first conference of this series took place in Busan, Korea in 2010 integrating various predecessor conferences like the

International Conference on Intelligent Logistics Systems (IILS), held in Busan, Korea (2005), Brisbane, Australia (2006),

Kitakyushu, Japan (2007), Shanghai, China (2008), and Gold Coast, Australia (2009), and the Supply Chain Management

(MLOG) conference held in Singapore (2008).

The program committee and the international advisory committee of LOGMS 2012 cordially invite you to submit your paper to

 this conference. All papers related to theoretical developments and applications of logistics and maritime systems are

welcome.

 Application case studies from industry are especially welcome. Topics could include (but are not limited to) areas such as the

 following:

·       Performance measures and efficiency analysis in logistics systems

·       Optimization modeling and simulation analysis of logistics systems

·       Design of transportation networks

·       Multi-modal transportation systems

·       Transport planning in freight carrier networks

·       Vehicle routing and fleet management

·       Applications in specific transportation systems like air, sea, road and rail transport

·       Environmental issues of transportation
