Traditionally companies have focused on improving their own internal business processes when faced with pressures to operate more efficiently. However, a system-wide focus, e.g., a collaborative focus, opens up cost saving opportunities that are impossible to achieve with an internal company focus. With the availability of timely and accurate information, new collaborative opportunities which create mutual benefits by taking advantage of operational synergies between buyers, sellers, or buyers and sellers are now arising. Collaborative logistics is viewed by many logistics professionals as a promising opportunity for reducing logistics costs and therefore increasing profitability and economic prosperity. Hence there is a need to develop a fundamental knowledge base for designing, analyzing, implementing, and managing such collaborative logistics and joint/shared planning initiatives. We are soliciting original papers describing empirical, analytical, and conceptual approaches to these classes of problems on collaborative logistics networks. The emphasis will include support for logistics teamwork and decision making, coordinated and collaborative planning and re-planning, human-centered logistics operations issues, and policy-related questions. All logistics applications are solicited.
