Call for Papers
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.
Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research in the topics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.
