Optimization 2020.
by Francisco Saldanha da Gama 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

Dear Locators, Dear friends, Once every three years we organize an Optimization International Conference in Portugal. In 2020 the conference will be held at the University of Aveiro in July 27--29 (https://optimization2020.web.ua.pt/) This is usually a very good conference with topics of interest to many of us. Aveiro is also a very nice city in between Oporto and Coimbra (https://porto-north-portugal.com/aveiro-portugal-guide.html) In caso you are interested in attending this conference, please let me know because I would be very glad to organize one or two sessions on Location Analysis. It would be nice to have a couple of such sessions. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Season and a great 2020. With kind regards, Francisco.

Inquiry regarding a paper in Studies in Locational Analysis
by Bettina Klinz 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Dear members of the EWGLA mailing list I was asked by Rainer Burkard, a former colleague of mine and professor emeritus at TU Graz for help to find the following paper J. Krarup/R.E. Burkard Locational analyses involving both positive and negative weights, Studies in Locational Analysis 9, 1996, 31 Rainer was asked by Jacob Krarup for a copy but cannot remember the paper and failed to find it in the internet. My own attempt to locate the paper failed too. When googling for the journal Locational Analysis I ended up with a nonfunctional link which led me to this result https://www.vub.be/pagina-niet-gevonden It appears that the EWGLA had a web site at the VUB which does not work any longer (the link was something like www.vub.ac.be › EWGLA › STUDIES (so something symbolic/redirected). It was suggested by a member of the EWGLA group who could not help me that I direct my request to this board. I'd be most grateful if someone reading this post could confirm the publication data of the article (which we are not sure about) above and let me know how I could get hold of a copy. Thank you very much in advance for your consideration. Best regards Bettina Klinz
