This two-volume publication presents a curated selection of peer-reviewed contributions from the 8th International Conference on Logistics Operations Management (GOL 26, Fez, Morocco, May 7- 9, 2026).
Structured around the conference theme Revolutionising Supply Chain and Logistics Through Operations Research and Artificial Intelligence , the collection highlights the transformative impact of operations research and artificial intelligence on modern supply chains. It provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers seeking to address complex logistical challenges and drive performance in an increasingly dynamic and digitalised environment.
Key Topics Covered:
   Advanced modelling and simulation: Large-scale optimization, planning & scheduling, joint production-distribution
   AI-driven logistics: Intelligent transport systems, AI for trade facilitation, adaptive supply chain management
   Digital and smart infrastructures: Blockchain, smart ports, digital twins, data analytics for decision-making
   Sustainable and urban logistics: Decision-support tools for smart and sustainable supply chains in smart cities
   Risk, quality, and project management in logistics operations
   Transport modes: Air transport, multimodal logistics, emerging mobility innovations
   Pedagogical perspectives: Teaching logistics operations management
Target Audience:
   Academic researchers in Operations Research, Management Science, AI, and Transportation
   PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows
   Industry practitioners in supply chain engineering, port authorities, and logistics service providers
Why This Matters
   Offers a unique dual lens (OR + AI) rather than treating them separately Includes emerging themes like digital twins, smart ports, and AI-driven trade facilitation
   Proceedings are rigorously peer-reviewed, ensuring scientific quality
   Provides actionable insights for both theoretical advances and operational deployment
