Welcome to the 10th IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (IEEE SOLI 2015), hosted by the REGIM-Lab. and the Association of Sustainable Innovation in Tunisia, and sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS).
Service science, service operations, logistics, and informatics are becoming ever more complex and interdependent. They are playing an increasingly important role in today’s world economy. Information and communications technology provides cyber-infrastructure and platforms to achieve more efficient and productive services operations. New types of service offerings are also emerging to meet the needs of customers and consumers.
The IEEE Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI) conference series aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, challenges and future directions, share their R&D findings and experiences in relative areas.

Proceedings: Registered and Presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
Paper submissions and reviews for SOLI 2015 will be handled through the Easy Chair conference management system. Easy Chair – SOLI 2015
Manuscript length: 6 pages maximum, including figures, tables & references. This is a strict limit for initial submission. During final submission of accepted papers, authors may purchase extra pages if they find it necessary to address the concerns of the reviewers.
Single blind reviewing: SOLI 2015 follows a single-blind review process. Authors are required to include their names and affiliations in their papers as illustrated in the sample templates. Templates (Microsoft Word and LaTeX) can be found at the following link:
As the page indicates, IEEE has recently revised their LaTeX templates. If you had previously downloaded these templates please revisit this site to access the latest version.
IEEE ITSS Ethical Requirements for Authors
The IEEE ITSS requires that all authors wishing to present a paper declare that:
- The paper is substantially original and that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal during the SOLI 2015 review period.
- The paper does not contain any plagiarism, and
- The paper will be presented by the author or a co-author in person.
The program committee chairs retains the right to eliminate any papers in violation of these requirements and to exclude the authors of such papers from future IEEE ITSS community activities.
