Dear fellow Locater, You will find below my collection of references for June 2026. It is subdivided into the 39 most recent references from 2023-2026 on the one hand, and 61 earlier ones on the other hand thereby terminating my 2018 harvest, and starting 2017 (going backwards, remember). The attached BibTeX file contains the full 100 item June collection. Enjoy, Sincerely Frank Plastria %%%%%%%%% RECENT %%%%%%%%%%%%% [1] Mohamed Alahyane, Zuqi Tang, and Abdelkader Benabou.

EWGLA and ISOLDE 2027
by Serena Fugaro (NBS - Staff) 18 May '26

18 May '26

Dear EWGLA community, Following the cancellation of the ISOLDE 2026 meeting in February, which we also shared on our mailing list, we received a proposal from the ISOLDE Steering Committee to transform the EWGLA 2027 meeting in İstanbul into a joint EWGLA-ISOLDE meeting in the EWGLA format. This proposal has been discussed with the EWGLA 2027 Scientific Committee, including the EWGLA Board and the EWGLA 2027 Chairs, and we are pleased to announce that: the EWGLA 2027 meeting will be held in Istanbul and will be a joint EWGLA-ISOLDE event. The original dates of 16–18 June 2027 will be kept, with the possibility of extending to include 15 June. Therefore, we recommend marking 15–18 June 2027 in your calendars. Further details will be shared with you. We look forward to meeting the entire Location community in İstanbul. Best regards,  EWGLA Board Diego, Hatice and Serena Dr Serena Fugaro (she/her) Lecturer in Business Analytics Innovation, Technology and Operations Management Group (ITOM) Norwich Business School University of East Anglia NR4 7TJ ???? s.fugaro(a)uea.ac.uk [cid:3b7df95f-32fc-4585-b3b8-7e9d03c15c37]

NATCOR Courses in Edinburgh this June
by Sergio García Quiles 27 Mar '26

27 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, We are organizing two courses in Edinburgh: * NATCOR Course on Convex Optimization, 8-12 June 2026. * NATCOR Course on Optimization Under Uncertainty, 15-19 June 2026. The courses are aimed mostly at (but not restricted to) Ph.D. students doing research in operational research and related areas (business analytics, engineering, computer science). Both courses will start with an introduction to the topic, moving on to more advanced state-of-the-art concepts and with an important emphasis on applications. Being full-week courses which include several social activities, it is a great opportunity to network with peer Ph.D. students and with the teaching team, consisting of world-leading experts on the area. Teaching teams are: * Convex Optimization: Miguel Anjos (University of Edinburgh, UK), Julian Hall (HIGHS/University of Edinburgh, UK), Tamás Terlaky (Lehigh University, USA), Margherita Porcelli (University of Florence, Italy), Alper Yildirim (University of Edinburgh, UK), and Filippo Zanetti (HIGHS/University of Edinburgh, UK). * Optimization Under Uncertainty: Kerem Akartunali (University of Strathclyde, UK), Merve Bodur (University of Edinburgh, UK), Vinh Doan (University of Warwick, UK), Nalan Gulpinar (Durham University, UK), and Francesca Maggioni (University of Bergamo, Italy). Note that, very conveniently, the courses are back-to-back, and the Convex Optimization course follows the SIAM Conference on Optimization, also held in Edinburgh from June 2 to June 5. More details on the courses and registration, including the course schedule and topics covered, can be found at https://www.natcor.ac.uk/courses/. Since capacity is limited, early registration is strongly encouraged.

Dear EWGLA members It is with sadness that I would like to let you that Professor Brian Boffey, one of the original founders of ewgla, has died on the 21 february 2026. His wife Pam has informed me last week by post. Though we were still in contact over xmas he was having a serious and terminal illness. Brian and I jointly organised the 9th meeting EWGLA 9 in 1996 at Birmingham. Attach is Brian order of service. God bless Him, his wife Pam, his family and all his friends and colleagues Take care Said Said Salhi | Professor Emeritus in OR/MS (FORS,FIMA,FCILT) Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the Operational Research Society (JORS) https://www.theorsociety.com/publications/journals/jors/ Kent Business School | University of Kent s.salhi(a)kent.ac.uk<mailto:s.salhi@kent.ac.uk> https://www.kent.ac.uk/kent-business-school/people/894/salhi-said https://research.kent.ac.uk/clho/ My Authored Book (2017)- Heuristic Search: Emerging Science of Problem Solving http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319493541 My Co-Edited OR Handbook (2022) S.Salhi and J.Boylan The Palgrave Handbook of Operations Research https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-96935-6?noAccess=true#page… ________________________________

ISOLDE XVII Conference - Cancelled
by Diana Ramirez-Rios 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, It is with a great sadness that we are announcing the cancellation of our ISOLDE XVII Conference proposed this year in Chicago. Thank you to all who submitted your abstracts, we appreciate your contributions and interest in participating in ISOLDE. Nonetheless, after extending the deadline a couple of times, we ended up receiving 47 abstracts. Ultimately, these numbers are not enough to cover the high fixed costs of holding a conference in Chicago, even after trying to downsize the conference for a smaller group. Even though this year's event is cancelled, our planning committee has discussed about the next steps to save ISOLDE. So please stay tuned for future updates about this. Best regards, Diana Ramirez-Rios, University at Buffalo, dgramire(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:dgramire@buffalo.edu> Gita Taherkhani, Loyola University Chicago, gtaherkhani(a)luc.edu<mailto:gtaherkhani@luc.edu> ISOLDE XVII Co-chairs
