The XIII Edition of the International Symposium On Locational DEcision (ISOLDE) will be held on June 16th-20th, 2014, in Naples and Capri (Italy), in conjunction with the XXI Meeting of EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis (EWGLA).

ISOLDE is a triennial Symposium which gathers researchers and practitioners from all over the world aiming at integrating different approaches to deal with locational decisions. Experts from operational research, mathematics, management science, geography, economics and engineering (among others) will present their more recent advances in modelling, theory and applications. Contributions dealing with Logistics, Manufacturing, Transportation and Telecommunication industries are welcome.

As usual, the Conference will be organized into a single plenary stream and in two different sites: after the first two days in Naples, participants will be transferred to the Island of Capri. More precisely:

June 16 and 17: Conference in Naples June 18: Guided visit of Pompei and Transfer to Capri June 19 and 20: Conference in Capri

For the participation, the submission of a short abstract is required. Special issues of international journals will be devoted to selected papers presented at the conference.
