For the last several years, APMS has been a major event and the official conference of the IFIP Working Group 5.7 on Advances in Production Management Systems, bringing together leading experts from academia, research and industry.

APMS 2013 is looking for contributions in cutting-edge research, as well as insightful advances in industrial practice in key areas of sustainable production and service supply chains, including green manufacturing, sustainability of additive manufacturing processes, advanced control systems, enterprise information systems and integration, sustainable logistics and transportation.

Several special sessions are being organized to raise visibility on topics of focused interest in a particular scientific or applications area, details of which can be found on the conference web site.

Papers will be blind peer-reviewed based on contributions to science and industrial practice. Please note that *full papers must be submitted* this year. (Not extended abstracts!). Each paper can be up to 8 pages in length and must conform to the Springer format. Accepted papers of registered participants will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the series titled "IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology" (IFIP AICT). An electronic copy of the proceedings will be sent to the registered attendees.

Springer format:

Following the tradition of past APMS conferences, the 6th APMS Doctoral Workshop is planned offering Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, receive feedback and exchange comments and views on their doctoral research in an inspiring academic community of fellow Ph.D. students, experienced researchers and professors of the IFIP WG 5.7 community.

Two types of awards have been planned for APMS 2013 participants:

  *   Burbidge Awards for best paper and best presentation
  *   Doctoral Workshop Award

Regular and Special Session papers can now be submitted using the on line system.
