APMS 2013 is looking for contributions in cutting-edge research, as well as insightful advances in industrial practice in key areas of sustainable production and service supply chains, including green manufacturing, sustainability of additive manufacturing processes, advanced control systems, enterprise information systems and integration, sustainable logistics and transportation.
Several special sessions are being organized to raise visibility on topics of focused interest in a particular scientific or applications area, details of which can be found on the conference web site.
Papers will be blind peer-reviewed based on contributions to science and industrial practice. Please note that *full papers must be submitted* this year. (Not extended abstracts!). Each paper can be up to 8 pages in length and must conform to the Springer format.

Following the tradition of past APMS conferences, the 6th APMS Doctoral Workshop offers Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, receive feedback and exchange comments and views on their doctoral research in an inspiring academic community of fellow Ph.D. students, experienced researchers and professors of the IFIP WG 5.7 community.
During this year's doctoral workshop, 8 Ph.D. students will be selected to present their research based on the quality of their proposals. Other students with meritorious proposals will be invited to make poster presentations. Students selected in both of the above categories are required to register for the conference (at student registration fees); however there will be no additional registration fees for presenting at the doctoral workshop.
The APMS Doctoral Workshop Award will be presented to the student with the best proposal.
