Aims
Information and communication technologies have been providing an effective network infrastructure and development platform for logistics and service operations. To meet the needs of consumers and to promote core competences, many institutions and firms have been developing new types of services. LISS2024 is a prime international forum for both researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of logistics, informatics and service sciences. The conference theme is “AI and data-driven technical and management innovation in logistics, informatics and services”. Both researchers and practitioners will discuss academic issues, seize future development opportunities, master the developing trends and exchange the latest academic thoughts.

LISS 2011-2023 were successfully held in Beijing (China), Reading (UK), Berkeley (USA), Barcelona (Spain), Sydney (Australia), Kyoto (Japan), Toronto (Canada), Maryland (USA), and Hong Kong (China) by Beijing Jiaotong University, in cooperation with University of Reading (UK), University of California, Berkeley(USA), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain), The University of Sydney (Australia), Kyoto University (Japan), University of Toronto (Canada), University of Maryland (USA), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Hungary, online), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong, China) respectively. In total, more than 2700 researchers from 36 countries attended the conferences.

LISS2024 will be hosted by IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Logistics, Informatics and Industrial Security Systems, International Center for Informatics Research of Beijing Jiaotong University, China Center for Industrial Security Research of Beijing Jiaotong University, School of Economics and Management of Beijing Jiaotong University, in cooperation with the Henley Business School Africa, South Africa, and the University of Reading, UK, Beijing Information Science and Technology University, China, and will be held during 26-29 July, 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa, with satellite sessions in Beijing, China.
