Special issue on location analysis in Networks and Spatial Economics
by Joerg Kalcsics 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Dear locators, Please see Zvi's message below. Best, Joerg. Dear colleagues, The submission link to the special issue on location analysis is now open for submission in Networks and Spatial Economics web site. Here is the link https://link.springer.com/collections/bahedaicai<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/link.springer.com/collections/bahedaicai…> The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2024. Here is the official call for papers: Facility location models involve the location of facilities that optimize an objective like minimizing the sum of distances, the maximum distance, maximizing the captured market share, and many others. There are numerous practical applications for such models, such as locating service facilities or facilities competing for customers. We are looking for suggestions of new models and applications, useful modifications of existing models, and better algorithms (heuristic or optimal) for their solution. Review articles will also be considered. Zvi ----------------- Zvi Drezner Professor Emeritus, Department of ISDS Steven G.
