Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter for our upcoming book entitled

---- “Advances in computational logistics and supply chain analytics: theories, methods, and applications” ------

to be published by Springer at the end of 2023.

There is no fee regarding the review or the publication of any chapter upon acceptance.

Below is a short description of the book:



===================================================================================================
The increasing globalization and the rapid technological development have put more pressure on business managers to propose efficient logistic and supply chain management (SCM) strategies, tools, methods, and techniques to keep efficient the overall flow of raw materials and to ensure receiving high-quality finished products. Lots of efforts have been deployed to address these challenges. In particular, computational intelligence methods have been extensively used in studying and optimizing the different activities along the entire supply chain including transportation planning, inventory management, and facility location problems, while considering customer requirements, short delivery times, and increasing cost pressure.

This book highlights the state of the art and challenges related to the design and the application of computational methods to solve logistic and supply chain management problems. It aims to present for readers recent computational logistic methods and supply chain analytics techniques designed and applied to support managers in improving such complex processes.

The main topics covered are, but not limited to:

• Data-driven techniques for solving SCM problems
• Smart logistics
• Reverse logistics
• Supply Chain Cooperative Relationship
• Transportation analysis problems
• Intelligent production planning techniques
• Inventory optimization
• Digital transformation of logistics
• Fuzzy approaches for solving logistic and transportation problems
• Supervised and unsupervised learning methods for optimized logistics
• Demand and sales forecasting using supervised, unsupervised and deep learning
