02 Jul '23

Dear friends, colleagues, locators: We just wrapped up another excellent ISOLDE meeting. This was the 16th ISOLDE and a very well-organized one. A big THANK YOU to Anita Schöbel and the organization team!!! Rajan Batta won the Lifetime Achievement in Location Analysis (LALA) award. This was announced during the conference dinner. He will be presented the award at the SOLA Business meeting during the INFORMS Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona to be held in October this year. The attendance merit has been updated as follows: * 15 meetings: Gilbert Laporte (attended all ISOLDE meetings but one!) * 12 meetings: H.A. Eiselt, Timothy Lowe * 11 meetings: Oded Berman, Zvi Drezner, Henrik Juel, Vladimir Marianov, Stefan Nickel, Francisco Saldanha-da-Gama Please let me know if you have attended 11 or more ISOLDE meetings so far. ISOLDE XVII will take place in Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI, USA on June 15-19, 2026 to be organized by Gita Taherkhani (Loyola University Chicago) and Diana Ramirez-Rios (University at Buffalo). More information about the ISOLDE meetings can be found here: https://uwaterloo.ca/isolde-conference/ Hope to see you at the next ISOLDE if not sooner!

EWGLA news
by Hatice ÇALIK 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

??Dear Locators, We would like to share EWGLA news with you under the following three topics: 1- EWGLA web site 2- EWGLA Coordination Board updates 3- EGWLA grants 2023 1- EWGLA web site We are updating the EWGLA website (https://www.euro-online.org/websites/ewgla/) and eagerly hoping to receive valuable inputs from you. Particularly, - A nice 'Location' graphic to replace the default banner on the home page. If you have ideas for the banner or maybe even already have figures from a presentation or a document that you prepared and can be published on our website without violating any copyright agreement, please let us know. - PhD thesis of yours or your students with a Location theme. Please send us the link to the open access repository (if a link is not possible, the pdf file unless there are copyright restrictions for publishing online) and we will add it to the "EWGLA Resources" page. - Please write us for any recommendations you might have about changes or additions to the web page. The website also has a new "EWGLA Grants" page with the list of early career researchers supported to participate EWGLA and/or ISOLDE meetings. The password for the password-protected pages is the city of the last EWGLA meeting (first letter capitalized). 2- EWGLA Coordination Board updates The EWGLA board typically consists of three members from different countries and each member serves for a duration of four years. Exceptionally, the board has been coordinated by four members since the last meeting in Aveiro. Bogi and Joerg have provided invaluable contributions and outstanding efforts since 2018 and 2015, respectively. Through this e-mail, we would like to already thank them both very much! Regarding the announcement for a new board candidacy, we received one application from Dr. Diego Ponce (Universidad de Sevilla, IMUS). Therefore, we will seek for your approval of Diego as new board member during the EWGLA session in ISOLDE/EWGLA 2023 and we hope that many of you will be there. 3- EGWLA grants 2023 We are thrilled to announce the results of the first call of EWGLA Supports for local and topic-specific meetings which we introduced for the first time this year. We received a single application from The International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems IWOLOCA-2023, which will be supported with up to 1,000 Euros. We are looking forward to receiving more applications from you. For participating the ISOLDE/EWGLA meeting this year, EWGLA will support four early career researchers among the seven applicants: Thomas Byrne (University of Strathclyde), Zehranaz Dönmez (Bilkent University), Ricardo Gázquez (University of Málaga), Shunee Johnn (University of Edinburgh). We thank all the applicants and wish a fruitful conference to all ISOLDE/EWGLA participants of this year! All the best, Bogi, Carmen, Hatice, and Joerg

IWOLOCA 2023 - Second Call for abstracts (extended deadline) + Registration is Open + Accommodation + Travel Grants Available
by Joerg Kalcsics 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, The XII International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems will take place 7-8 September 2023 in Edinburgh (United Kingdom). This workshop is jointly organized by the Spanish Location Network, the Location Working Group on Location GELOCA (SEIO), and the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS). SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS This is the second call for abstracts. If you would like to contribute with a paper on a facility location problem or on a related area (widely understood), please, submit an abstract of at most two pages. You can find attached the template for the abstract. To submit your abstract, please, use the following link: IWOLOCA 2023 (XII International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems) (easychair.org)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/easychair.org/my/conference?conf=iwoloca…>. Please, note that you only need to upload the .tex file (and any other file required to compile, should that be the case). The compiled pdf, or the sty or cls files provided in the template are not required when you upload your abstract. If you are uploading more than one file, please, do so as zip file. Important dates for the abstract submission: * Deadline for abstract submission (EXTENDED): 28 June 2023. * Notification of acceptance: 29 June 2023. REGISTRATION AND ACCOMMODATION We are delighted to inform you that registration is open at IWOLOCA 2023 | University of Edinburgh<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.epay.ed.ac.uk/conferences-and-events…> Several questions are asked at registration for logistics purposes. Please, answer all of them. We have two different registration fees, depending on wheter you need accommodation or not. The "basic registration fee" is £125. It includes participation to the scientific sessions, coffee breaks and lunches for the two days, a guided tour, and the gala dinner on Friday. It does not include accommodation. Deadline is 15 August. The "full registration fee" is £525. It includes the same things as the basic registration fee plus 3 nights of accommodation (check-in is Wednesday 6 September and check-out is Saturday 9 September) at university central venues of KM Central and The Scholar. The room will be allocated to you at one fo the two venues by strict order of registration. Note that it is still high season in Edinburgh on the dates of the workshop. So, it may be hard to find a central accommodation cheaper than this. As we have a cut off date for the room that we have managed to block, the deadline is 7 July. TRAVEL GRANTS Through different funding bodies, we have managed to secure some funding to support with travel and accommodation expenses. If you wish to apply, please, indicate so in the registration by answering appropiately the relevant questions. Decisions on the award of these grants will be made and communicated as soon as possible, but they will not happen by the deadline of the full registration fee and grants will not be paid before the workshop takes place. Priority will be given to participants presenting a paper, and among them to early stage researchers (PhD students and postdoctoral researchers), women, members of GELOCA, and participants from weak currency countries. If you have any question, please send your email to iwoloca(a)gm.uca.es<mailto:iwoloca@gm.uca.es> with cc to at least one of the following: sergio.garcia-quiles(a)ed.ac.uk<mailto:sergio.garcia-quiles@ed.ac.uk>, Joerg.Kalcsics(a)ed.ac.uk<mailto:Joerg.Kalcsics@ed.ac.uk>. More information on the workshop: http://redloca.ulpgc.es/redloca23.html We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh!
