LDIC 2026 – Call for Papers

The 10th edition of the International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026) will be held in Bremen (Germany) from February 25 to 27, 2026 and will be accompanied by project workshops and further interesting satellite events.

Scope of the Conference
Dynamics of logistic processes and networks are at the heart of the conference. We invite empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practice-oriented contributions addressing the modeling, planning, optimization and control of processes in supply chains, logistic networks, production systems, and material flow systems and facilities.

LDIC 2026 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.

Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following within production, logistics, and supply chain management:

  • Dynamics and complexity
  • Modeling and optimization
  • Uncertainty, risk, resilience, and performance
  • Supply chain management and global disruptions
  • Strategic decision making, auctions, game theory
  • Multi-modal transportation networks
  • Maritime logistics and port operations
  • Sustainable and green logistics
  • Urban and last mile logistics
  • Humanitarian logistics, disaster management
  • Smart production and material flow systems
  • Digitalization, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins
  • Artificial intelligence, data science, and IT platforms
  • New work in logistics, human-technology interaction
  • Industry 5.0 / Logistics 5.0
