Invited Stream on Vehicle Routing

The IFORS Conference in Melbourne promises to be an exciting meeting with a
strong program covering many areas of Operational Research.
We are organising an invited stream on Vehicle Routing.
This includes all aspects of the topic including:

* arc routing
* location-routing
* routing with environmental objectives
* inventory routing
* VRP for humanitarian needs (or organizations)
* "Rich" VRP's (i.e. Real-world routing, with real-world constraints)
* combined problems, e.g. VRP with supply chain
* time-dependent travel times
* VRPs with stochastic aspects
* dynamic (and/or on-line) aspects of VRP
* and other related themes.

If you would like to organise an invited session of four papers or would
like to submit a paper to our stream, please contact one of us as soon as
possible.


The deadline is 31st of January 2011.

We hope to see you in Melbourne.
