Dear colleagues,

The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Facility Logistics Track at the 2012 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC).  The ISERC is the new name for the Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC).  The ISERC, which is part of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research community.

As track chairs of the Facility Logistics Track, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract.  Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4 presenters. Abstracts are welcome in the following and other relevant areas:

Facility Design and Layout
Material Handling Systems
Storage and Handling Systems
Order Fulfillment Systems
Order Picking Systems
Warehouse Automation
Warehouse Operations
Container Operations

Warehouse Logistics
Cross Docking and Transportation
Inventory Tracking and Control
Sensor Systems for Warehouses
Physical Internet
Ergonomics in Facility Logistics
Warehouse Management Systems
Material Handling Education



We encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference proceedings.  The papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research community; however, the papers are more limited in scope and length than a full-length journal paper.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest.  Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.



The important deadlines for the conference are:
Abstract submissions: November 11, 2011
Notification: December 9, 2011
Submission of full papers (optional but encouraged): January 13, 2012
Notification of paper acceptance: February 24, 2012
Final version of full paper due: March 9, 2012
Presenting author registration deadline: April 1, 2012


If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) you or a co-author must register for the conference by April 1, 2012 (presentations/papers without an author registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) you or a co-author must attend and present the paper at the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for fellow authors and follow review deadlines.

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, panels, or tutorials.  In addition to research presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!


Regards,
Ananth Krishnamurthy
