Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETraditionally 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 benefit 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 initiatives.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe workshop will focus on efforts in that direction and will have a variety of talks on topics related to models and methods of collaboration, including supply chain coordination, auctions, computation and games, learning and games, and logistics collaboration in practice. Furthermore, an overview of collaborative logistics research at Georgia Tech will be presented.  A 15-minute discussion after each talk, a lunch break, and two coffee breaks during the day will provide ample opportunities for\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninteraction among the participants.
