The HMS Conference concentrates on applications of simulation and computer
technologies to logistics, supply chain management, multimodal transportation, maritime
environment and industrial logistics. HMS Conference is a traditional event and it was held
successfully worldwide, usually in the surroundings of major international ports (
HMS1999 Genoa,
HMS2000 Portofino,
HMS2001 Marseille,
HMS2002 Bergeggi,
HMS2003 Riga,
HMS2004 Rio de Janeiro,
HMS2006 Barcelona,
HMS2007 Bergeggi).
However HMS foundations are even older, originally a
"Harbour & Maritime Transport Workshop" was included as part of Simulation in Industry
Conference, Genoa (1996) and then a "Modelling and Simulation within a Maritime Environment
Conference" was organized in Riga during 1998; In 2008 the Conference moved to South Italy in
HMS2008,
in co-location with I3M2008,
the event was a great success in term of quality and
attendance; the 2009 edition was very successful in the Canary Island:
Tenerife Spain
and the HMS2010
was held in Fes (Morocco). In 2011 the conference moved in Italy, while HMS 2012 has
been held in Vienna and it is a joint event in
I3M2012.
In 2013 the conference moved to Greece as a joint event of
I3M2013, co-locating
HMS2013,
EMSS2013,
MAS2013,
DHSS2013,
IMAACA2013,
I-WISH 2013
and
SESDE 2013
.
In 2014 the conference was held in Bordeux, France, as part of
I3M2014.
HMS2015 was held in Bergeggi, Italy, still as part of
I3M2015.
In the past editions worldwide specialist had the opportunity to participate and interact to
this important International Forum on Logistics.
The audience includes both users, vendors and scientists operating in applying advanced
techniques to supply chains, logistics and handling facilities.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is presenting tremendous challenges for our entire world. During this period of hardship and uncertainty, we understand that the global research community is significantly but also variably affected by this pandemic. Despite the fact that the 2020 edition of I3M conference is still months away, we want to provide the following clarifications and reassurance.
We will continue to update you throughout the next few months to keep the community apprised of any adjustments that might need to be made. We wish everyone health, patience, and strength during this difficult time. Please keep in touch with us! We will try to keep research communication moving as closely as possible to a normal process with flexibility.
After so many editions, I3M carries on with the long tradition bringing new ideas, solutions, approaches and plenty more. The HMS Organization Committee is composed by:
It is a long tradition for I3M to provide opportunities to its Authors to extend their work for being published in International Journals; in fact as one of the most important and successful Simulation appointment, I3M 2020 includes historical conferences such us EMSS and HMS that this years will respectively celebrate the 32th and 22th years edition. Thanks to the invaluable works of the Organizing Committees, International Program Committees, Reviewers and Local Organizers, this year the I3M Multiconference is one of the biggest events of M&S worldwide. So, due to these reasons, several International Journals will publish Special Issues based on a collection of extended versions of best selected papers among those submitted to EMSS, MAS, HMS, DHSS, IWISH, SESDE, IMAACA, FoodOPS, FoodOPS
