Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis"

 

Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, Bahar Y. Kara

 

The subjects of interest within location analysis are of many kinds,
centering on the optimal choice of locations for one or more facilities,
within any framework (the classical settings being discrete, network, and
planar) in a way that optimizes a certain objective such as minimizing
transportation costs, providing equitable service to customers, capturing
the largest market share, etc. Many other fields have direct connections
with location analysis, either by subject such as transportation and
routing, supply chain management, environmental studies, layout and design,
data and cluster analysis, or as techniques, like mathematical (linear,
integer, non-linear, convex, global, ...) programming, multi-criteria
analysis, approximation theory, computational geometry, statistics, etc.

 

Recently, there have been several new developments in location analysis. The
aim of this special issue is to collect high quality papers that address
recent advances in theory, practice and application. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:

*	network location, 
*	continuous location, 
*	discrete location, 
*	obnoxious location, 
*	competitive location, 
*	hub location,
*	location-routing,
*	location applications (logistics, network design), 
*	exact and heuristic solution methods. 

 

Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this
special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic.
