Workshop in Madrid, 17th of July 2024
by Pinar Pérez, Jesús María 12 Apr '24

12 Apr '24

Dear Locators, CUNEF Universidad, in collaboration with Sheffield University Management School, is pleased to invite you to the Workshop "Novel methods and techniques in location science and their applications in problems with or without a facility location focus", that will be celebrated in Madrid (Spain) on the 17th of July 2024. Traditional facility location models have been widely deployed to the solution of challenging location problems in diverse applied and theoretical settings. However, the application of facility location models has not been limited to location problems, and these techniques have been also applied to seemingly unconnected problems. For example, the p-median formulation has been used in clustering and data set partitioning problems; graph colouring problems; districting and hierarchical districting problems; as a grouping tool for team-orienteering problems; for genome rearrangement studies in genetics; and for drug response prediction in tumour cells; among others. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in developing novel methods and applications of location models, together with those who are interested in exploring the application of those models beyond the traditional scope of facility location problems. The workshop will work as a melting pot for ideas and interactions between experts of different backgrounds and may open new and exciting areas of research for the location community. Researchers and practitioners are invited to present works in the form of oral communications. For participation, the submission of a short abstract is required (max. 400 words). No registration fees will be charged. The workshop has the financial support from the European Working Group in Locational Analysis (EWGLA). Therefore, participation of doctoral students is especially encouraged. Doctoral students are eligible for partial support of their travel expenses. Plenary Speakers Prof. Justo Puerto Albandoz (Universidad de Sevilla, Spain) Prof. Francisco Saldanha da Gama (Sheffield University Management School) Organising Committee Dr. Jesús María Pinar Pérez (CUNEF Universidad, Spain) Dr. Diego Ruiz-Hernández (Sheffield University Management School) Submissions Please submit your abstracts to jesusmaria.pinar(a)cunef.edu<mailto:jesusmaria.pinar@cunef.edu> using as subject: ABSTRACT LOCATION WORKSHOP 2024. * Workshop date: 17th of July 2024. * Venue: CUNEF Universidad, Campus Leonardo Prieto Castro 2, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid, Spain. * Submission deadline: 2nd of July 2024. * Registration fee: No fees will be charged.

Dear locators, The submission deadline for the TSL 2024 Workshop, to be held in Nantes (France) from September 25 to 27, 2024, has been extended to April 15, 2024. The main theme is Optimizing Transportation and Logistics under Uncertainty. Submission related to facility location are more than welcome. https://tsl2024.sciencesconf.org/ We will be delighted to welcome Ola Jabali (Politecnico Milano) for a plenary session, and are preparing a second plenary session. As a prelude to the Workshop, we are also offering a 3-day Doctoral School from September 22 to 24, with lectures prepared by Mike Hewitt (Loyola University Chicago) and Barrett Thomas (University of Iowa). Registration will open soon. https://tsldoc2024.sciencesconf.org/ We look forward to seeing you in Nantes at the end of September. ------------------------------ The LS2N Laboratory, IMT Atlantique and CRC Services, are pleased to announce the call for the *12th INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society Workshop (TSL 2024). * The workshop will be held in Nantes, France, from *September 25 to 27*. The main theme of the workshop is: *Optimizing Transportation and Logistics under Uncertainty * In the ever evolving world of transportation and logistics, there is a growing need to optimize operations under uncertainty. Decision makers are faced with variable transit times, volatile demand volumes, and fluctuating resource availability. This increases their need for algorithms that can deal with uncertainty. We invite submissions that enrich the scientific literature on optimizing transportation and logistics systems in uncertain environments. This includes, but is not limited to contributions in the following areas: - stochastic optimization, - robust optimization, - simulation-based optimization - dynamic models, - time-dependent models, - data-driven optimization, - uncertainty modeling. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS Researchers interested in giving a presentation are invited to submit an abstract of no more than two pages. Acceptance of an abstract will be based on both the quality of the research and its appropriateness to the theme of the workshop. Please note that the TSL Workshop will be preceded by a *Doctoral School *on the same topic. IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission deadline: /April 15, 2024 /Notification of acceptance:/ May, 31, 2024 /Early bird registration: / July 11, 2024 /Doctoral school : / September 22-24, 2024 /TSL Workshop: / September 25-27, 2024 / / / /--------------/ /Olivier Péton IMT Atlantique, LS2N laboratory 4 Rue Alfred Kastler, 44300 Nantes, France olivier.peton(a)imt-atlantique.fr +33 251 85 83 13 / / /

Supervisors and industry partners may appear as coauthors on the paper, but the first author must be the applicant. The applicant must have made substantial contributions to the paper. 3. Each applicant can apply with one paper only. 4. At the time the paper was written, the applicant should have been an undergraduate student, a graduate student, or a postdoctoral fellow at a Canadian university or a Canadian citizen studying in a university outside of Canada. 5. Papers selected as finalists must be presented in a special session at the annual CORS conference. Submission A cover letter (at most two pages) along with a pdf copy of the paper must be submitted by the application deadline on March 10, 2024, to the committee chair Sibel Alumur (sibel.alumur(a)uwaterloo.ca<mailto:sibel.alumur@uwaterloo.ca>) with the subject "GL Student Paper Award Application". The cover letter should at minimum discuss the motivation, the contribution and potential impact of the paper to the fields of transportation, logistics and operations research, and the role of the student in writing the paper. All co-authors must be CC'd in this email. The jury is composed of Sibel Alumur Alev, Elena Fernández, and Gilbert Laporte. Selection Criteria 1. Contribution of the paper to the field of transportation and logistics and operations research, 2. The scale of its impact on the transportation and logistics community and the public, 3. The originality of the problem and the methods, and 4. Style, clarity, and organization of the paper. Awards · The winners will be announced at the banquet of the Society by one of the jury members. · The first prize will be awarded $200 and the honourable mention will receive $50. · All papers selected as finalists will receive a certificate.
