The 24th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2024) will be part of ALGO 2024 (https://algo-conference.org/2024/), which will take place at the Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, United Kingdom. ATMOS is scheduled on 5-6 September 2024.

Since 2000, ATMOS brings together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transport optimization. The symposium provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques and ideas from algorithms, mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research.

IMPORTANT DATES

• Submission deadline: June 30, 2024 (AoE)
• Notification to authors: July 31, 2024
• Camera ready submission: August 7, 2024
• Symposium: September 5-6, 2024

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research in the topics related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other journals or conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that, in case of acceptance, at least one of the authors will register at ALGO/ATMOS 2024, attend the conference on-site, and present the paper.

Submissions must be in the form of a single PDF file prepared using the LaTeX OASIcs style file (https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/oasics) and must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2024).

ATMOS 2024 accepts two types of submissions, both of which will be reviewed with the same quality standards by the Program Committee.

(a) REGULAR PAPER SUBMISSIONS: A regular paper submission should clearly motivate the importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state its key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used to achieve the main results. A regular paper submission should not exceed 12 pages including title page and abstract, but excluding references and an optional appendix. Authors should include all necessary details in their submission so that the Program Committee can judge the correctness, importance and originality of their work. Any material (e.g., proofs or experimental results) omitted (from the main part of 12 pages) due to space limitations can be put into the optional appendix, which will be read at the Program Committee’s discretion. Regular papers will be allotted up to 20 pages in the proceedings.(b) SHORT PAPER SUBMISSIONS: A short paper submission may present preliminary results or work-in-progress on a specific topic. Authors should clearly motivate the importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper’s key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used to achieve the main claims. A short paper submission should have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. Authors should provide sufficient details in their submission so that the Program Committee can judge the correctness, importance and originality of their work. Short papers will be allotted upto 6 pages in the proceedings.
