IFORS 2017: Location Session.
by Francisco Saldanha da Gama 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Dear Locators, Time flies. I have just noticed that only three day remain for submitting an abstract to the IFORS Conference in Quebec City in July. I would like to organize a location session in the conference. If you plan to submit an abstract, please use the code 66b98ca5 in case you wish your talk to be scheduled in my session. My preference would be for a hub location session but giving the short time remaining, Ill make it more flexible and so, I plan to go for Applications of Location Analysis so that we can have different location topics in that session. I look forward to meeting (some of) you in Quebec City in July. All the best, Francisco.

ISOLDE - 2nd Announcement
by Dmitry Krass 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Would it be able to post / email this to EWGLA members? Thanks! ISOLDE (International Symposium on Locational Decisions) XIV- SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT ISOLDE (International Symposium on Locational Decisions) is the pre-eminent international conference devoted to the general subject of Location Analysis. This symposium involves researchers from many fields including Civil and Industrial Engineering, Management Science, Economics, Operations Research, Geography and Computer Science, as well as practitioners in government and industry. This year's conference (14-th ISOLDE) will be held from July 9-14, 2017 in Toronto, Canada (hosted by the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto) and Huntsville (Muskoka region), Canada. Please visit the conference website http://inside.rotman.utoronto.ca/ISOLDE/ for all details and submission instructions. The submission deadline has been extended until February 15, 2017. As locational decisions (whether tied to physical geographical locations or to more abstract settings) become relevant in increasingly wide areas of research, we would like to make a special outreach to researchers whose primary research focus may not be in locational analysis, but whose work does involve a locational decision component. We hope to see you in Toronto in July! Dmitry Krass Professor of Operations Management and Statistics Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto 105 St. George st., Toronto, ON, M5S 3E6 (416)978-7180
