Constraint Technologies is sponsoring the Conference on Transportation Scheduling and Disruption Handling in Prato, Italy on September 17-19th 2009.

The integration between scheduling and disruption handling has recently become a focus of intensive research. The area presents three challenges: how to schedule in a way that is robust to disruption; how to reschedule after a disruption so as to minimize costs; and how to schedule and reschedule in an integrated way so as to get back on schedule as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

The focus of this conference is on software algorithms for optimization of transportation schedules, focusing on the interaction between scheduling and on-the-day operation. The research community targeted by the conference is the "hybrid algorithms" community combining techniques from Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Operational Research.
