[EWGLA] Newsletter June 2018
by Olivier Péton 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Dear locators, Please find a new EWGLA newsletter, following the meeting in Edinburgh. Note that we have two important calls, for the election of a new member in the EWGLA coordination board and the organization of a EURO winter school. The coordination board ----------------------------------------------------------------- *EWGLA XXIV, Edinburgh, 23-25 May 2018* ----------------------------------------------------------------- The EWGLA XXIV meeting was held in Edinburgh, (perfectly) organised by Sergio Garcia and Jörg Kalcsics. The meeting was attended by 78 persons, coming from 18 countries. - plenary session by Stein Wallace and Andrea Lodi - 53 scientific talks - Four young researchers received grants from EWGLA in order to cover their travel and accomodation expenses. They did a very nice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Election of the EWGLA coordination board* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the EWGLA session at EWGLA XXIV, we discussed the activity of our EURO Working Group. The main point was the proposal for changing the rules of the coordination board. Here are the rules that were adopted: /1.The board consists of three members from three different countries.// //2.The mandate of a member starts and ends at a EWGLA meeting.// //3.Each member serves for a span of 4 EWGLA meetings, excluding the one she or he came into office.// // That is, the mandate of a member coming into office at a EWGLA meeting will end four meetings later.// //4.Only one member at a time is replaced at every EWGLA meeting./ Following this rule, we started a transition phase, during which the current coordination board will progressively be replaced by three members. - Sergio Garcia left after EWGLA XXIV (Thanks a lot to him for serving the working group for 3 years) - Olivier Péton will leave after EWGLA XXV. - Jörg Kalcsics will leave after the joint ISOLDE 2020 / EWGLA XXVI meeting. Thus, we call for new volunteers to join the coordination board. According to the new rules, only one member can be elected in 2018 and this person cannot come from France nor UK. Candidates are required to send an email to ewgla-board(a)euro-online.org <mailto:ewgla-board@euro-online.org> by *June 25, with their name, affiliation and a bulleted list o**f views and/or ideas about the future of EWGLA*. The list of candidates will be announced short after. If they are several candidates, registered EWGLA members will be asked to vote and the result will be announced in July. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *ORGANISING A EURO WINTER SCHOOL on FACILITY LOCATION* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last EWI dedicated to facility location was held in Estoril (Portugal) in 2007. This has been a great opportunity for young researchers to get high level courses on facility location, to present their current research and to extend theur professional network. During the last EWGLA session, a large majority of participants agreed that organising a future EWI on facility location would be a great idea. A traditional approach is that participants to the 2007 EURO winter school are supposed to organise the next winter school on the same topic. It would be great to have volunteers in this group. All EWGLA members can also contribute in the new project. We will soon open a separate discussion forum, please contact the coordination board if you are interested. ------------------------------------------------------------- *CONFERENCES ANNOUNCEMENT* ------------------------------------------------------ - EURO 2018 : Valencia, July 8-11. 8 location related sessions organised by EWGLA. - EWGLA XXV, Brussels, June 5-7 2019 (Lieselot Vanhaverbeke) - IWUOR, International Workshop in Urban Operations Research, Nanzan University, Japan, August 2-4 2019 (Atsuo Suzuki). - ISOLDE 2020, EWGLA XXVI, Hamburg and the baltic sea (Anita Schöbel). -- IMT Atlantique <http://www.imt-atlantique.fr> *Olivier PÉTON* Professeur +33 251 85 83 13 olivier.peton(a)imt-atlantique.fr 4 rue Alfred Kastler 44307 Nantes Cedex 3 Site web IMT Atlantique <http://www.imt-atlantique.fr>Twitter IMT Atlantique <https://twitter.com/IMTAtlantique>Facebook IMT Atlantique <https://www.facebook.com/IMTAtlantique>Google+ IMT Atlantique <https://plus.google.com/109356934816329928502>LinkedIn IMT Atlantique <https://www.linkedin.com/company/imt-france>Blog IMT Atlantique <http://blogrecherche.wp.imt.fr> Une école de l'IMT <https://www.imt.fr>

Proposal for a change of the mandate of the EWGLA board
by KALCSICS Joerg 14 May '18

14 May '18

Dear EWGLA members, we are writing you concerning a proposal to change the regulations and mandate of the EWGLA board. Currently, the board consists of three members and changes every three years. As a result, we effectively "expend" 1 person per year, a rate which we think is not sustainable in the long term. Moreover, changing the board as a whole means that a lot of knowledge is lost after the change (even if previous boards are always very helpful), resulting in a unnecessarily cumbersome start for the new board. As a result, we suggest to change the regulations and mandate for the board as follows: 1. The board consists of three members from three different countries 2. The mandate of a member starts and ends at a EWGLA meeting. 3. Each member serves for a span of 4 EWGLA meetings, excluding the one she or he came into office. That is, the mandate of a member coming into office at a EWGLA meeting will end four meetings later 4. One member at a time is replaced at every EWGLA meeting. This will hopefully mitigate the setup costs for new board members and will result in greater continuity and less "loss of knowledge". As we don't want to decide this ourselves, we think it's best to discuss this at the next meeting in Edinburgh during the EWGLA session and let you vote on it. Until this has been resolved, the current board would stay in power, unless there are objections. Provided that new rules proposed above are accepted by the EWGLA members, the current board would be willing to initiate the transformation process. That is, one member at a time would stop serving at each of the next three meetings, starting with the one in Edinburgh, and would be replaced by a new member. The first one to leave would be Sergio. Best wishes, Jörg, Olivier, and Sergio ---------------------------------------------- Joerg Kalcsics Lecturer in Operational Research School of Mathematics University of Edinburgh James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh, EH9 3FD, UK Room: 6226 Phone: +44 (0)131 650 5953 Email: joerg.kalcsics(a)ed.ac.uk<mailto:joerg.kalcsics@ed.ac.uk> Web: http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/people/show?person=450 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
