HMS 2017- Journal Opportunities and First Deadline

The 19th International Conference on Harbor, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation (HMS 2017)
(http://www.msc-les.org/conf/hms2017/index.html)

Dates and Location
September 18-20, 2017
HMS 2017 will be held in Barcelona, in cooperation with the I3M 2017 MultiConference


Key Dates – Deadlines
Abstracts or full draft papers, April 15th 2017
Acceptance Notification, May 15th 2017
Camera Ready Papers, June 15th 2017

Journals Opportunities
HMS 2016 had several different journal special issues based on the best papers submitted to the conference. Currently, the Organization Committee is working to provide the HMS 2017 attendees with many and good journal publication opportunities.

Indexing
The HMS proceedings are indexed by 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.
