A special focus will be given to applying AI techniques in order to integrate and interact with humans within the logistic process, may they be users, system designers, analysts, or other stakeholders. Intelligent logistic systems will instruct users; they communicate and explain their situation and reasoning upon demand; they notify managers about anomalies or in case of an emergency; they engage in clarification dialogs upon misunderstandings. The better the human interface becomes, the more we expect logistic scenarios to become re-populated by users such that shared human-machine scenarios may benefit from human expertise and intelligence while operators are relieved from tedious automated routine. This way we move from a de-centralized view of cooperating autonomous units to an “emancipated” society of logistic units interacting among themselves and with human agents. We explicitly encourage submissions that tackle this challenge.
