Workshop on Transportation and Logistics

The Millennium Institute Complex Engineering Systems, (www.sistemasdeingenieria.cl) would like to invite you to a workshop on Transportation and Logistics to be held during the second week of December 2009 at a seaside resort in Chile.
The workshop is part of a larger effort to build an international collaboration network oriented to innovative formulations, methodologies and solution methods to solve public transportation problems from an operations research standpoint. Such a research effort is essential to address real operational problems in mass transit systems of many mayor cities in Latin America, for example the Transmilenio and Transantiago systems in Colombia and Chile. We invite you to be part of this research network, which will include not only researchers but also professionals from the public and private sectors and from operators of the involved countries. We would like to ask for your help in securing funds to set up this research network by writing us a letter of support for this effort, highlighting your intention to participate in the workshop, which would be a perfect time to kick off this collaboration initiative.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, or knowing more about this Workshop, contact Karla Jaramillo, [email protected]
