SEPS social issue on Location Analysis for Public Sector Decision Making
by Vedat Verter, Prof. 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Final Call for Papers Special Issue of Socio-Economic Planning Sciences Location Analysis for Public Sector Decision-Making in Uncertain Times Guest Editors: Giuseppe Bruno, University of Naples “Federico II”,Italy Andrea Genovese, University of Sheffield, UK ******Extended Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015****** Socio-Economic Planning Sciences will publish a special issue on recent development in Location Analysis for Public Sector Decision-Making. The goal is to compile state-of-the art research, spanning modeling, theory, empirical studies, application and case studies in this research area. We seek operations research oriented contributions that are rigorously executed, clearly and succinctly written, and innovative relative to what is currently known. In light of the scope of SEPS, all papers must clearly demonstrate the relevance of their contributions with respect to the public sector. A facility location problem is aimed at finding the best position for a set of facilities within a given region in order to optimize a specific objective function. In the last decades, there have been many applications concerning the location of public-sector facilities (i.e. schools or post offices, emergency services, fire stations, hospitals, ambulances). These models represent a viable decision support tool for institutions that are planning to expand their capacity in a given region and/or market. This very well established research strand, however, has to take into account the changing and uncertain nature of our times. Indeed, in recent years, due to the global recession and the general interest to reduce costs and improve efficiency, public sector bodies have been more interested in the rationalization of the current position of active facilities (either closing down some of them or re-organizing the overall service supply system). In this context, decisions may depend on various factors such as the nature of the service and the characteristics of the demand. Considering this context, the special issue will be welcoming papers related to applications and theory of Location Analysis, with a special emphasis on contributions addressing contemporary challenges. All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) http://ees.elsevier.com/seps. You must select Location Analysis as the Article Type to make sure that your paper will be considered for the special issue. The submission deadline is January 31, 2015. The plan is to publish the special issue in early 2016. Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their quality work on this topic of increasing significance. Inquiries on the special issue can be directed to the guest editors (giuseppe.bruno(a)unina.it<mailto:Giuseppe.bruno@unina.it>, a.genovese(a)sheffield.ac.uk<mailto:a.genovese@sheffield.ac.uk>).

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. The challenges that Healthcare is facing have not only to do with the ability of providing better services to all (treatments, preventive medicine, better diagnosis tools), with an increased focus on improved personalized treatment options, but also with the need to tackle an increased pressure felt by Healthcare systems: increased number of patients, some of them requiring expensive treatments, with a consequent increase in the workload for health institutions that most of the times have to deal with important budget restrictions. The Conference will provide a forum in which researchers coming from different scientific disciplines can discuss and share their experience regarding methodological approaches to tackle different Healthcare challenges. Contributions from operational research, industrial engineering, medicine, medical physics, management, computational biology, bioinformatics, health economics among others are welcomed. __ _Streams_ If you are interested in organizing a stream please let us know (info(a)minieuro2015.com).
