The International Conference on Harbor, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation (HMS 2015)
(http://www.msc-les.org/conf/hms2015 )

Dates and Location
September 21-23, 2015
HMS 2015 will be held in Bergeggi, italy, in cooperation with the I3M 2015 MultiConference

Journals Opportunities
HMS2014 had several different journal special issues based on the best papers submitted to the conference.
Currently, the Organization Committee is working in order to provide HMS 2015 attendees with as many and good journal publication opportunities.

Indexing
The HMS proceedings have been accepted for Indexing in Scopus.

Conference Aim
The HMS Conference concentrates on applications of simulation and computer technologies to logistics, supply chain management, multimodal transportation, maritime environment and industrial logistics. This event is the ideal framework for setting up European Community and International Projects and it could be used as a framework for hosting project review meeting and project exploitation. The audience includes both users, vendors and scientists operating in applying advanced techniques to industry, business and services. The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera-ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns). Please refer to the on line authors instruction section.
