Dear Colleagues:



The Logistics and Supply Chain (LSC) Division of the Institute of Industrial
& Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Logistics and Supply Chain
Track at the 2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo. The conference is a forum
for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems
engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2018 IISE Annual
Conference and Expo integrates research and industry under one conference.



As track chairs of the Logistics and Supply Chain 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 a
session, choosing either a standard 20-minute presentation or a new
40-minute presentation for a lengthier discussion. Each session will be 80
minutes. Abstracts are welcomed for the Logistics and Supply Chain Track in
the following areas:




Logistics Network Optimization

Logistics Network Simulation

Inventory Optimization and Control

Warehousing and Distribution Systems

Supply Chain Modeling and Simulation

Supply Chain & Logistics Applications

Transportation Systems

Supply Chain Analysis and Design

Green or Sustainable Supply Chain

Logistics for Energy Production

Procurement and Supplier Selection

Demand Planning

Information Sharing

Coordination and Collaboration

Offshoring and Reshoring

Humanitarian Supply Chains

Supply Chain Reliability and Resilience

Service Supply Chains

Reverse Logistics



In addition to the traditional abstract and presentation, two other options
are available for presenting your work: an extended abstract and a full
paper.



●     Extended Abstract. A new feature at this year’s conference, the
extended abstract is intended as a mechanism to explain the author's’ work
in more detail than the standard conference abstract allows. An extended
abstract can include problem descriptions, technical details, and a brief
analysis of the conclusions reached in the study or the impact of the
engineering work to be discussed at the conference. Extended abstracts will
be limited to three pages and will be judged based on correctness (e.g.,
accuracy of the statements made, relationships to other problems in the
field), professionalism (e.g., quality of grammar and figures, adherence to
formal writing standards), and content (e.g., sufficiency of information
convey beyond the standard conference abstract). Extended abstracts must
contain citations where appropriate, and may not plagiarize (or
self-plagiarize) other work in the literature. Authors will be able to claim
these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be publicly viewable.
They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference
proceedings, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing extended
abstract material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of
journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).



●     Full Paper. Like previous years, full papers should contain results
that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems
engineering research and practitioner community. Full papers have a six-page
limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process with more rigor
relative to the extended abstract. Accepted papers will be copyrighted and
indexed in the conference proceedings. Authors of rejected papers will be
given the opportunity to resubmit their work as an extended abstract.



Important deadlines for the conference are as follows (NOTE: THERE WILL BE
NO EXTENSIONS)



●     Abstract Submission Deadline: November 7, 2017

●     Notification of Decision on Abstract: November 28, 2017

●     Submission of Extended Abstracts and Full Papers (optional): January
16, 2018

●     Notification of Decision on Paper: February 20, 2018

●     Final Version of Full Paper Due: March 6, 2018

●     Presenting Author Registration Deadline: March 13, 2018

●     Schedule Published: April 3, 2018

●     2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo: May 19-22, 2018



If your abstract, extended abstract, or full paper is accepted: (a) the
presenting author must register for the conference by March 13, 2018
(presentations without the presenting author registered for the conference
will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting
author must attend and present the paper at the conference (presenting
authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from the
proceedings); and (c) all authors who submit an extended abstract or a full
paper are expected to review two extended abstracts or full papers (as
appropriate)  for fellow authors.



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



We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
