Optimization 2017.
by Francisco Saldanha da Gama 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Dear Locators, In the beginning of September (6−8) there will be a conference held in my Faculty―Optimization 2017 (http://optimization2017.fc.ul.pt/) The main purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different areas and backgrounds, but with common interests in optimization. This meeting has international recognition as an important forum of discussion and exchange of ideas. It is the 9th edition of a series of international conferences in optimization organized in Portugal under the auspices of APDIO (the Portuguese Operations Research Society). I would like to see (at least) one Location session in the program of the conference. So, in case you consider attending this meeting, please, contact me directly (fsgama(a)fc.ul.pt <mailto:fsgama@fc.ul.pt> ) so that I organize the session. My idea would be to attract to this conference some locators from abroad. I look forward to hearing from you and possibly to meeting you in September in Lisbon. All the best, Francisco.

IFORS 2017: Location Session.
by Francisco Saldanha da Gama 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Dear Locators, Time flies. I have just noticed that only three day remain for submitting an abstract to the IFORS Conference in Quebec City in July. I would like to organize a location session in the conference. If you plan to submit an abstract, please use the code 66b98ca5 in case you wish your talk to be scheduled in my session. My preference would be for a hub location session but giving the short time remaining, Ill make it more flexible and so, I plan to go for Applications of Location Analysis so that we can have different location topics in that session. I look forward to meeting (some of) you in Quebec City in July. All the best, Francisco.
