Advances in Computational Logistics

This book comprises high-quality refereed research papers presented at the 2021 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Logistics Engineering (ICAILE2021), held in Kyiv, Ukraine, on 22–24 January 2021, organized jointly by Wuhan University of Technology, National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and the International Research Association of Modern Education and Computer Science. The topics discussed in the book include state-of-the-art papers in artificial intelligence and logistics engineering. It is an excellent source of references for researchers, graduate students, engineers, management practitioners and undergraduate students interested in artificial intelligence and their applications in logistics engineering.

This book presents the advances in the concept, model, method, and tools for the global supply chain management. The conference took place in Marrakesh from May 2 to May 4, 2024. The 7th edition of this conference focused on Smart Sustainable and Green Logistics. The papers included in the book's proceedings cover various themes, such as:

Swarm intelligence algorithms represent a rapidly growing research domain and have recently attracted a great deal of attention. They have been successfully applied in engineering, transportation, planning and scheduling, logistics and supply chains, and a broad range of other domains. They often find high-quality solutions with less computational effort than other optimization methods.

Topics described in this book emphasize the progresses in computational applications, pharmacokinetics advances, and molecular modeling developments. The book also contains special topics describing target deorphaning in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, therapy treatment of some rare diseases, and developments in the pediatric drug discovery process.
