The 3rd International Conference on Transportation and Logistics (T-LOG 2010)
Date: September 6-8, 2010
Place: Nishijin Plaza, Kyushu University in Fukuoka City, Japan
Introduction
In the last three years, the environment surrounding international trade has changed drastically with the worldwide economic recession caused by the financial crisis. Furthermore, some other threats, such as piracy and terror attacks, have affected the international trade and transport. Under these situations, the importance of more advanced integrated transport and logistics system is increasing for the global economy. T-LOG 2010 will be a good opportunity for the professionals of transport and logistics to gather information and knowledge, address the problems related to transport and logistics system, and have further discussions to overcome these problems.
The first International Conference on Transportation Logistics, T-LOG2005, was held in Singapore, and the second conference, T-LOG 2007, was held in Shenzhen, P.R. China, with more than 100 academic papers presented and these conferences were very successful. The third T-LOG conference will be held from 6 to 8 September 2010 in Fukuoka, Japan. Fukuoka has a nearly a-thousand-year history as an international trading city and has historically tight relations with Asian cities, especially northeast Asian cities. Fukuoka, with three international container ports and two international airports, is now developing as a gateway city connecting Asian cities and Japan, and is suitable as the host of the T-LOG 2010 conference.
Objective
T-LOG is to provide a technical forum considering current problems, solutions and the future development of transportation logistics. Practitioners and academics will gather to present, discuss and exchange their knowledge and experience in fostering ideas. It will provide an excellent opportunity for transportation and logistics professionals to exchange technical information and learn from each other's successes and experiences. Technical tours in Fukuoka will be arranged to visit transport facilities and factories which have notable technologies related to logistics.
