HMS 2024 - International Conference on Harbor, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation!

The 26th International Conference on Harbor, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation (HMS 2024)

(http://www.msc-les.org/hms2024/)

The HMS Conference concentrates on applications of simulation and enabling methodologies and technologies (also considering 4.0 approaches and paradigms) to logistics, supply chain management, multimodal transportation, maritime environment and industrial logistics. HMS Conference is a traditional event and it was held successfully worldwide as part of the I3M Multiconference.

Awards

"Gianni Cantice Research Award for Gifted Simulation Students" and the “Norbert Giambiasi Award for Conceptual Modeling Excellence” will be announced during the I3M 2024 Gala Dinner and attributed to the best simulation student applicants. The Gianni Cantice Award is entitled to Col.Cantice as recognition for his long activity in Simulation; the Gianni Cantice Award Winner will receive the Award Certificate and a financial contribution (a free registration for the next I3M conference).
The Norbert Giambiasi Award is entitled to Prof. Norbert Giambiasi as recognition for very highly qualified contribution in Conceptual Modeling and DEVS within the International Simulation Community. The Norbert Giambiasi Award Certificate Board selects the paper among best Conceptual Modeling contributions to the I3M Conference. If you have a student as co-author in your HMS paper the student could be considered for the award.


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 meetings and project exploitation. The audience includes both users, vendors and scientists operating in applying advanced techniques to industry, business, and services.
