    The 6th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2018) will be held in Bremen (Germany) from 20th to 22nd of February 2018 and will be accompanied by several satellite events. Springer will publish the proceedings of the conference.
     
    Scope of the Conference

    Dynamics of logistic processes and networks are at the heart of the conference. The spectrum of topics reaches from the modeling, planning and control of processes over supply chain management and maritime logistics to innovative technologies and robotic applications for cyber-physical production and logistics systems. The growing dynamics confronts the area of logistics with completely new challenges: it must become possible to identify, describe and analyze the process changes. Moreover, logistic processes and networks must be revised to be rapidly and flexibly adaptable to continuously changing conditions. 
     
    LDIC 2018 provides a forum for the discussion of advances in that matter. The conference addresses scientists in logistics, operations research, engineering, and computer science. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in dynamics in logistics.
