Call for Papers - ImViReLL'14
2nd Conference on “The Impact of Virtual, Remote and Real Logistics Labs”

Logistics research has seen a technology push over the last years. Established mate
rial handling technologies have been complemented by
ubiquitous technologies such as Auto-ID,Sensors and decentralized processing capabilities.
The technical complexity is still growing, thus leading to a situation where businesses are sometimes overstrained by the possible potentials on the one hand and unclear benef
its on the other.

Logistics labs promise to overcome this gap – in applied research as well as in edu
cation – and serve as a place for hands-on experience. On the one hand, the concrete forms of experiments, testing and development possibilities are numerous, but on the other hand, the efforts for establishing a lab and keeping it vital are huge. The goal of the conference is to focus on lab-based research and education, evaluate their
impact in research and education and investigate specific demands, opportuni
ties and challenges.

2nd ImViReLL 2014 provides a venue for researchers from academia and industry interested in future-oriented logistics labs as a nucleus for innovation. The conference addresses research in logistics from a wide range of fields, e.g. retail, engineering, computer science, distributed education and collaborative research. This academic conference will be held in combination (parallel sessions) with the 4th International conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2014) – registration will allow access to both conferences! The conference will take place between

February 10th and 14th, 2014 in Bremen, Germany.

Objective of the Conference

The goal of the conference is to evaluate the impact of lab-based research in logistics.
