New Submission Deadline: October 28, 2013 Call for Papers Computers & Operations Research Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis" Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, Bahar Y. Kara The subjects of interest within location analysis are of many kinds, centering on the optimal choice of locations for one or more facilities, within any framework (the classical settings being discrete, network, and planar) in a way that optimizes a certain objective such as minimizing transportation costs, providing equitable service to customers, capturing the largest market share, etc. Many other fields have direct connections with location analysis, either by subject such as transportation and routing, supply chain management, environmental studies, layout and design, data and cluster analysis, or as techniques, like mathematical (linear, integer, non-linear, convex, global, ...) programming, multi-criteria analysis, approximation theory, computational geometry, statistics, etc. Recently, there have been several new developments in location analysis. The aim of this special issue is to collect high quality papers that address recent advances in theory, practice and application. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * network location, * continuous location, * discrete location, * obnoxious location, * competitive location, * hub location, * location-routing, * location applications (logistics, network design), * exact and heuristic solution methods. Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic. Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) <http://ees.elsevier.com/cor> http://ees.elsevier.com/cor. Corresponding author must select Special Issue: Recent Advances in Location Analysis as the Article Type to make sure that the paper will be considered for the special issue. Important Dates: The deadline for submission to the special issue is October 28, 2013. The plan is to publish the special issue in early 2015. Guest Editors: Sibel A.

2nd Call for Papers - Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis"
by Sibel Alumur Alev 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Second Call for Papers Computers & Operations Research Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis" Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, Bahar Y. Kara The subjects of interest within location analysis are of many kinds, centering on the optimal choice of locations for one or more facilities, within any framework (the classical settings being discrete, network, and planar) in a way that optimizes a certain objective such as minimizing transportation costs, providing equitable service to customers, capturing the largest market share, etc. Many other fields have direct connections with location analysis, either by subject such as transportation and routing, supply chain management, environmental studies, layout and design, data and cluster analysis, or as techniques, like mathematical (linear, integer, non-linear, convex, global, ...) programming, multi-criteria analysis, approximation theory, computational geometry, statistics, etc. Recently, there have been several new developments in location analysis. The aim of this special issue is to collect high quality papers that address recent advances in theory, practice and application. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * network location, * continuous location, * discrete location, * obnoxious location, * competitive location, * hub location, * location-routing, * location applications (logistics, network design), * exact and heuristic solution methods. Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic. Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) <http://ees.elsevier.com/cor> http://ees.elsevier.com/cor. Corresponding author must select Special Issue: Recent Advances in Location Analysis as the Article Type to make sure that the paper will be considered for the special issue.

First announcement for the XIII ISOLDE (International Symposium On Locational DEcision) - Napoli/Capri 16-20 June 2014
by Giuseppe Bruno 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Dear Locators, The XIII Edition of the International Symposium On Locational DEcision (ISOLDE) will be held on June 16th-20th, 2014, in Naples and Capri (Italy), in conjunction with the XXI Meeting of EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis (EWGLA). ISOLDE is a triennial Symposium which gathers researchers and practitioners from all over the world aiming at integrating different approaches to deal with locational decisions. Experts from operational research, mathematics, management science, geography, economics and engineering (among others) will present their more recent advances in modelling, theory and applications. Contributions dealing with Logistics, Manufacturing, Transportation and Telecommunication industries are welcome. As usual, the Conference will be organized into a single plenary stream and in two different sites: after the first two days in Naples, participants will be transferred to the Island of Capri. For the participation, the submission of a short abstract is required. Special issues of international journals will be devoted to selected papers presented at the conference. Deadline for abstract submission: 28 February 2014 WEBSITE: www.isolde2014.org Attached: ISOLDE2014 postcard Sorry for multiple emails.

by Olivier Péton 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Dear locators, We have a Ph.D position available at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes. The goal of the research project is to build a decision aiding system to solve supply chain network design and routing problems occurring in the context of supply chain pooling. This research is funded by the Ecole des Mines de Nantes (France) and the company 4S Network. After the withdrawal of a candidate, this offer is quite urgent, we expect applications by July 25th. Good skills in operations research and computing are required, as well as practice of French language (this is why the PhD offer attached is written in French!). Thanks for forwarding this message to potential candidates, Olivier Péton -- _______________________________________________________________________ Olivier Péton Enseignant - Chercheur Ecole des Mines de Nantes & IRCCyN (UMR CNRS 6597) 4 rue Alfred Kastler, BP 20722 44307 Nantes Cedex 3, France Tel : (+33) 2.51.85.83.13 Email: olivier.peton(a)mines-nantes.fr ______________________________________________________________________

Dear Prof. Plastria, I would like to thank you for putting together regularly the list of location related references. This makes our research incredibly easier. We recently published a paper regarding a complex multi-period facility location problem appearing in the Canadian forestry industry which you may want to consider for one of the next reference lists: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10479-012-1278-z Thanks again for your efforts and Best Regards, Sanjay -- Sanjay Dominik Jena PhD Student at CIRRELT, DIRO, Université de Montréal URL: http://w1.cirrelt.ca/~jena Phone: +1 514 343-6111 # 8710 On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 4:02 AM, Plastria F. <Frank.Plastria(a)vub.ac.be>wrote: > Dear EWGLA members, > > Please find below the references related to our research area > that I collected during the period January 2013 - May 2013. > > Sincerely > Frank Plastria > > > > > ****************************** > Jong-Geun Kim, Michael Kuby, > A network transformation heuristic approach for the deviation flow > refueling location model, > Computers & Operations Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2013, Pages > 1122-1131, > ISSN 0305-0548, 10.1016/j.cor.2012.10.021. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030505481200247X) > Keywords: Path deviation; Detour; Heuristics; Location; Network design; > Refueling station; Energy > > > > ****************************** > Qingwei Li, Bo Zeng, Alex Savachkin, > Reliable facility location design under disruptions, > Computers & Operations Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2013, Pages > 901-909, > ISSN 0305-0548, 10.1016/j.cor.2012.11.012. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305054812002560) > Keywords: Facility location; Distribution networks; Design; Reliable; > Disruptions; Fortification > > > > ****************************** > Yuval Hadas, Amir Laor, > Network design model with evacuation constraints, > Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Volume 47, January > 2013, Pages 1-9, > ISSN 0965-8564, 10.1016/j.tra.2012.10.027. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0965856412001668) > Keywords: Evacuation; Network design; Facility location; Optimization; > Heuristics > > > > ****************************** > Manish Verma, Michel Gendreau, Gilbert Laporte, > Optimal location and capability of oil-spill response facilities for the > south coast of Newfoundland, > Omega, Volume 41, Issue 5, October 2013, Pages 856-867, > ISSN 0305-0483, 10.1016/j.omega.2012.10.007. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305048312002022) > Keywords: Facility location; Marine oil spills; Stochastic programming; > Environmental cost; Societal risk > > > > ****************************** > Knut Haase, Sven Müller, > Management of school locations allowing for free school choice, > Omega, Volume 41, Issue 5, October 2013, Pages 847-855, > ISSN 0305-0483, 10.1016/j.omega.2012.10.008. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305048312002034) > Keywords: Discrete location; Simulation-based optimization; Endogenous > demand; Random utility model; Mixed logit; School network; 0–1 program > > > > ****************************** > Fatma Gzara, > A cutting plane approach for bilevel hazardous material transport network > design, > Operations Research Letters, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 40-46, > ISSN 0167-6377, 10.1016/j.orl.2012.10.007. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167637712001319) > Keywords: Hazardous material transport network design; Bilevel > programming; Valid cuts; Cutting plane algorithm > > > > ****************************** > Atefeh Baghalian, Shabnam Rezapour, Reza Zanjirani Farahani, > Robust supply chain network design with service level against disruptions > and demand uncertainties: A real-life case, > European Journal of Operational Research, Volume 227, Issue 1, 16 May > 2013, Pages 199-215, > ISSN 0377-2217, 10.1016/j.ejor.2012.12.017. > (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377221712009484) > Keywords: Supply chain network; Risk analysis; Disruption; Robust > optimisation; Agri-food > > > > ****************************** > Siddhartha S.

02 May '13

Call for Papers Computers & Operations Research Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis" Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, Bahar Y. Kara The subjects of interest within location analysis are of many kinds, centering on the optimal choice of locations for one or more facilities, within any framework (the classical settings being discrete, network, and planar) in a way that optimizes a certain objective such as minimizing transportation costs, providing equitable service to customers, capturing the largest market share, etc. Many other fields have direct connections with location analysis, either by subject such as transportation and routing, supply chain management, environmental studies, layout and design, data and cluster analysis, or as techniques, like mathematical (linear, integer, non-linear, convex, global, ...) programming, multi-criteria analysis, approximation theory, computational geometry, statistics, etc. Recently, there have been several new developments in location analysis. The aim of this special issue is to collect high quality papers that address recent advances in theory, practice and application. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * network location, * continuous location, * discrete location, * obnoxious location, * competitive location, * hub location, * location-routing, * location applications (logistics, network design), * exact and heuristic solution methods. Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic. Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) <http://ees.elsevier.com/cor> http://ees.elsevier.com/cor. Corresponding author must select Special Issue: Recent Advances in Location Analysis as the Article Type to make sure that the paper will be considered for the special issue. Important Dates: The deadline for submission to the special issue is October 1, 2013. The plan is to publish the special issue in early 2015. Guest Editors: Sibel A.

ISOLDE website
by Sibel Alumur Alev 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Dear Location Researchers, During the last ISOLDE meeting in Japan, Gilbert Laporte said it's a pity that there is so little information available regarding the past ISOLDE meetings. We discussed that it'd be nice if we can have a website for ISOLDE. I volunteered to design such a website. The website address is: http://isoldeconference.org. As we discussed with Gilbert, I have designed the page in a way that people will be able to post some memories from the past ISOLDE meetings. In order to support the website, I also established a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ISOLDE-Conference/534366156575345. All of the past ISOLDE meetings are listed on the events page. It is easier to post pictures and comments for each of the meetings through these event pages. You should be able to access these pages without being a Facebook member. For those of you who are a member of Facebook, you can "like" this page to be informed about recent posts and pictures. Also, you can "join" the past meetings that you have attended and keep track of how many ISOLDE meetings that you have been to. I have put all the information that I have to the website in addition to some pictures that I could get. I'm especially in search of the group photos taken in all of the past meetings. It would be wonderful if the past meeting organizers can send group photos or any additional information to share through the website. Lastly, I encourage all the past participants to share memories and pictures to keep the ISOLDE website and Facebook pages alive. Best regards, Sibel Alumur Alev
