Logistics is central to world trade. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including the production, handling, storage, and distribution of goods, as well as the use of communication technologies needed for the flow of information to meet consumer demand. In order for these activities to be run in an efficient manner, good, or optimal, decisions are to be taken in relation to various aspects of a logistics system, including the design of the physical and the digital infrastructure on which the logistics network will operate, the interaction between various entities in the network, and the flow of products and information. The breadth and the range of tasks involved in logistics make the management and coordination of the activities complex and challenging, and require advanced methods for the design, planning, and control of the system. This is where computational tools are of competitive advantage, offering ways to capture, store, visualize, and share information to solve complex problems employing optimization techniques, to evaluate systems and policies using simulation, and to enable collaborative schemes through the use of algorithmic mechanisms. The use of computational technology facilitates addressing these challenges within reasonable amounts of computational time and supports decision-making. The International Conference on Computational Logistics (ICCL) is a forum where recent advances on the topic are presented and discussed. This volume offers a selection of 38 peer-reviewed papers submitted to the 8th International Conference on Computational Logistics (ICCL 2017), held in Southampton during October 18-20, 2017. The papers are indicative of the recent work that is being undertaken in computational logistics, categorized in what emerged as four sufficiently distinct but
