19TH EURO WORKING GROUP ON TRANSPORTATION MEETING CALL FOR PAPERS
September 5-7, 2016, Taskisla Campus, Istanbul Technical University
Taksim, Istanbul, Turkey
http://ewgt2016.itu.edu.tr

Since 1992, the annual meeting of the EURO Working Group on Transportation
(EWGT) has been a unique opportunity for attendants to share theoretical
and applied research results in the analysis, modeling, control, and
management of transportation and logistics systems. The 19th EURO Working
Group on Transportation Meeting (EWGT2016) will offer keynote plenary
talks; workshops; tutorials; and oral presentations from academics,
industry experts, students, and representatives of government agencies to
discuss recent methodological developments and application challenges in
traffic, transportation, and logistics systems. In conjunction with the
motivation of the EURO Working Group on Transportation, the main theme for
the conference has been specified as the "Simulation and Optimization of
Traffic and Transportation Systems".

KEYNOTES:
In conjunction with the theme of EWGT2016, leading scientists that have
confirmed keynotes are:
- Peter Wagner, German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and TU Berlin, Germany
- Jaume Barceló, UPC-Barcelona Tech, Spain
- Michel Gendreau, CIRRELT and MAGI, École Polytechnique, Montréal,
