International transportation scheduling conference to be held in Italy
According to organisers Constraint Technologies, the 2nd Conference on Transportation Scheduling and Disruption Handling will deal with software alorigthms for optimisation of transportation schedules, focusing on the interaction between scheduling and on-the-day operation.
The integration between scheduling and disruption handling has recently become a focus of intensive research.
The focus of this conference is on software algorithms for
optimization of transportation schedules, focusing on the interaction between
scheduling and on-the-day operation. The research community targeted by the
conference is the “hybrid algorithms” community combining techniques from
Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Operational Research.
Constraint Technologies is very happy to announce their 3 key speaker:
The conference will comprise of three sessions with the following confirmed:
Online optimisation
· Invited speaker: Pascal Van Hentenryck, Brown University.
· Title of presentation: "Disaster Planning, Response, and Recovery".
Rail optimisation

· Title of presentation: "Robustness concepts and their application to timetables in public transport".
Transport scheduling with side-constraints
· Invited speaker: Philip Kilby, National ICT Australia (NICTA).
· Title of presentation: "Flexible Routing with Constraints".
Additional sessions may be added if sufficient interest is shown in a particular topic.
