Call for Papers
(Here is a
brochure in a PDF file)
| The past four symposia have been
characterized by a relatively small number of
parallel sessions (at most three) and generous time
for discussion at all sessions. Academics as well as
practitioners have praised the relaxed pace of
presentations and cordial environment which provided
for excellent opportunities in networking and a
fruitful exchange of ideas. We plan to re-create
this atmosphere with this Fifth Annual event. We
invite prospective authors and presenters, both
academicians and practitioners, to contribute to this international symposium.
Potential areas of focus include:
Third-Party Logistics
Providers
Demand Management
Globalization and SCM
eProcurement |
Intelligent Agents in Supply Chains
Network Design
Reverse Logistics
Risk Management
|
Supply Chain Coordination
Supply Chain Security
Suppliers Management
SCM Software |
Submissions Guidelines:
- Academic papers. All papers will
undergo a double-blind review by at least two
reviewers from the symposium's program
committee. All accepted papers will be published
in a CD of proceedings, after full payment of
registration fees by at least one author. Given
the strict reviewing process, most papers will
be selected for publication as special issues in
leading refereed journals. The past four
events generated eight special journal issues!
At least one author should present the
paper at the symposium.
Here are
guidelines for academic papers.
- White papers.
White papers from
practitioners are strongly encouraged. Accepted
papers will be published in full or in abstract
form in a CD of proceedings, after full payment
of the registration fee by at least one author.
At least one author should present the paper at
the symposium. Here are
guidelines
for white papers.
- Presentations.
Some authors, especially practitioners, may
choose to contribute with a presentation without
submitting a paper. All presentations
(whether accompanied by a paper or not) are 30 minutes long followed by 5 minutes
for discussion.
The Symposium will not accept presentations in
the form of commercial promotional material for
a business or product.
