2012 International Conference on Low-carbon Transportation and Logistics, Green Buildings (LTLGB2012)

Description
It has become a consensus that we must reduce carbon dioxide emission to mitigate global warming. Low carbon development has become the national development strategy in many countries, for example, the Chinese government promised to cut carbon emission of per unit GDP by 40% to 45% by 2020 compared with 2005 in 2009. As we know, the carbon emission in transportation, logistics and buildings is very large, only the carbon emission in transportation accounts for about 13% of the total emission, buildings even account for half of all CO2 emissions.

In order to strengthen academic exchanges and discussions on the fields of the technology, policy and management of carbon emission, 2012 International Conference on Low-carbon Transportation and Logistics, Green Buildings (LTLGB2012) will be held on 12-13 October 2012 in Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China.

31. 2th International Conference on Computer Science and Logistics Engineering

2th International Conference on Computer Science and Logistics Engineering

Description
Logistics engineering as a discipline is also a very important aspect of systems engineering that includes reliability engineering. It is the science and process whereby reliability, maintainability, and availability are designed into products or systems. It includes the supply and physical distribution considerations above as well as more fundamental engineering considerations.
Another much more popular derivative and a complete usage of the logistic term which has appeared in recent years is the supply chain. The supply chain also looks at an efficient chaining of the supply / purchase and distribution sides of an organisation. While Logistics looks at single echelons with the immediate supply and distribution linked up, supply chain looks at multiple echelons/stages, right from procurement of the raw materials to the final distribution of finished goods up to the customer.
The computer science has been applied in logistics engineering in many aspects. Thus the inter discipline in the logistics and computer science has been more and more popular in the scientific research. 2012 the 2th International Conference on Computer Science and Logistics Engineering(ICCSLE 2012), will be held on during Oct. 19-21, 2012 in Zhengzhou, China. The purpose of this conference is to call for researchers engaging in Management Science, Management Modeling and Computer Science to get together and present the state-of-the-art of, and emerging trends in, research and practice in this field.
The theme of the Conference is “Operation Management in Logistics”

Advanced management science is to reflect the advancement in frontiers in the operation research, decision science and many other relative area. It employ techniques from other mathematical sciences, such as mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and mathematical optimization, operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems. Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and because of its focus on practical applications, management science has overlap with other disciplines, notably industrial engineering and operations management, and draws on psychology and organization science. Operations Research is often concerned with determining the maximum (of profit, performance, or yield) or minimum (of loss, risk, or cost) of some real-world objective. Originating in military efforts before World War II, its techniques have grown to concern problems in a variety of industries.
