The Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems is an international forum for researchers in the area of optimization methods and algorithms to facilitate planning and operational management of freight and passenger transportation and traffic. It is colocated with ALGO 2021.
The Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems is an international forum for researchers in the area of algorithms and optimization methods to facilitate planning and operational management of freight and passenger transportation and traffic. ATMOS brings together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transport optimization. The symposium provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques and ideas from algorithms, mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research.
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research in the topics
related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other journals or conferences with published
proceedings
is not allowed. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of
the
authors must register for ALGO/ATMOS 2021 and present the paper.
Submissions must be in the form of a single PDF file prepared using the LaTeX OASIcs style file
(https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors)
and must be submitted electronically via
the EasyChair submission system (links and details will follow).
ATMOS 2021 accepts two types of submissions (new in this year!), both of which will be reviewed with the
same quality standards
by the Program Committee.
Regular paper submissions: a regular paper submission should clearly motivate the importance of the problem
being addressed, discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state its
key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used to achieve the main results.
A regular paper submission should not exceed 12 pages including title page and abstract, but excluding
references and an optional appendix.
Authors should include all necessary details in their submission so
that the
Program Committee can judge correctness, importance and originality of their work. Any material (e.g.,
proofs or
experimental results) omitted (from the main part of 12 pages) due to space limitations can be put into the
optional
appendix, which will be read at the Program Committee's discretion. Regular papers will be allotted up to 20
pages
in the proceedings.
Short paper submissions: a short paper submission may present preliminary results or work-in-progress on a
specific
topic. Authors should clearly motivate the importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and
its
relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper’s key contributions, and outline the key
technical
ideas and methods used to achieve the main claims. A short paper submission should have at least 4 and at
most 6 pages.
Authors should provide sufficient details in their submission so that the Program Committee can judge
correctness,
importance and originality of their work. Short papers will be allotted up to 6 pages in the proceedings.
The symposium welcomes but is not limited to papers addressing the following topics:
The symposium welcomes but is not limited to papers applying and advancing the following techniques: Algorithmic Game Theory, Approximation Algorithms, Combinatorial Optimization, Graph and Network Algorithms, Heuristics and Meta-heuristics, Mathematical Programming, Methods for the Integration of Planning Stages, Online and Real-time Algorithms, Simulation Tools, Stochastic and Robust Optimization.

She is well-known for her contributions to different aspects of public transport, in particular for her work on delay management, line planning and timetabling. Currently, she is coordinator of the DFG research unit on integrated traffic planning. Anita is head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) and full professor for Applied Mathematics at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. In 2019 and 2020, she served as the President of the German Operations Research Society (GOR).
The proceedings of ATMOS 2021 will be published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics.
