ISOLDE (International Symposium on Locational Decisions) XIV- SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
ISOLDE (International Symposium on Locational Decisions) is the pre-eminent international conference devoted to the general subject of Location Analysis. This symposium involves researchers from many fields including Civil and Industrial Engineering, Management Science, Economics, Operations Research, Geography and Computer Science, as well as practitioners in government and industry. This year's conference (14-th ISOLDE) will be held from July 9-14, 2017 in Toronto, Canada (hosted by the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto) and Huntsville (Muskoka region), Canada.
Please visit the conference website http://inside.rotman.utoronto.ca/ISOLDE/ for all details and submission instructions. The submission deadline has been extended until February 15, 2017.
As locational decisions (whether tied to physical geographical locations or to more abstract settings) become relevant in increasingly wide areas of research, we would like to make a special outreach to researchers whose primary research focus may not be in locational analysis, but whose work does involve a locational decision component.
We hope to see you in Toronto in July!
