EWGLA Colleagues:
Welcome home from EWGLA XX in Ankara, Turkey!
For the first time in recent memory (and quite possibly ever), the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) is inviting at least one research session (3-4 talks) on Facility Location (any sub-topic considered) chaired by yours truly. The 2015 DSI Annual Conference is in (beautiful) downtown Seattle this November 21st through 24th and that (just announced today) the Seattle Seahawks play host to the Arizona Cardinals that Sunday November 22nd a very walkable 1.3 miles due south of the conference hotel right past the world famous Seattle Art Museum.
The conference web site is here:
http://dsi-annualmeeting.org/
The submission website is here (abstracts limited to 50 words, full papers are accepted, and deadlines are approaching in May):

Call for Papers
*Special issue on Global Optimization applied to Healthcare Problems*
Guest Editors:
Joana Dias, INESCC/FEUC, Portugal
Humberto Rocha, INESCC, Portugal
Ana Viana, ISEP/INESC TEC, Portugal
Recent advances in medicine allow us to live longer and healthier lives.
These advances have been made possible through the joint contribution of
very different scientific fields. Healthcare is nowadays better
understood as a multidisciplinary field, with increasing number of
challenges that can be better tackled by joint collaboration of
researchers with different scientific backgrounds. Operational Research
can significantly contribute to tackle many of the current and
forthcoming challenges, especially those requiring the development of
mathematical models and global optimization techniques. In this special
issue we welcome contributions that consider methodological, theoretical
or computational aspects of global optimization applied to healthcare
problems.Only high quality contributions in terms of novelty and
significance within the scope of Journal of Global Optimization will be
considered.
Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at
XXXI Euro Mini Conference on Improving Healthcare that took place in
Coimbra, Portugal, from March 30 to April 1 2015, this Call for Papers
is also open to the entire community of academics and practitioners.
All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of
Journal of Global Optimization. Papers should be original, unpublished,
and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They
should be prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be
found in the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions
using the submission site https://www.editorialmanager.com/jogo, not
forgetting to choose as article type « SI : Global Optimization in
Healthcare ».
The deadline for submissions is 31 October, 2015. Other inquiries should
be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this issue:
Joana Dias (joana(a)fe.uc.pt), Humberto Rocha (hrocha(a)mat.uc.pt), and Ana
Viana (aviana(a)inescporto.pt).
Dear all
We propose a doctoral contract (for 3 years) at the University of Rennes
1 (Brittany, France).
The topic is : "Location, sustainability, performance of food supply chain".
The thesis
- will use models from OR, geographical economics and logistics.
- will be developed in french language (but publications in english).
I join all informations for this thesis (in french) and some slides of a
previous conference (EWGLA 2011, Nantes).

Dear College,
we would like to remind you that 20th March is approaching, the deadline of the
early registration for the EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis Meeting
<http://www.math.bme.hu/ewgla2015/> being held in Budapest, Hungary, May
20-22, 2015. The final program will be published on the homepage around

Dear locators,
You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to the session on
“Supply Chain Network Design” to be held at the EURO 2015
<http://www.euro2015.org> in Glasgow, July 12-15, 2015.
This special session is part of the stream “Location".
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Facility location models within supply chain management: integration
of location decisions with other issues such as e.g. procurement,
production, transportation, inventory, etc.
- Exact or heuristic solution methods for (re)designing a supply chain
network
- Case studies from industry involving facility location and supply
chain network design
The deadline for abstract submission is *March 16, 2015* (no more than
1500 characters, no formulas or mathematical notation).
You may access the conference website directly at
http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27/ and select the session code
“80c7201f”.
Alternatively, feel free to send me your abstract: I will post it in the
conference system and will send you a confirmation.
Looking forward to receiving interesting contributions!
Kind regards,
