In order to modify the current facility or develop a new facility, the dynamics of facility location
problems (FLPs) ought to be taken into account so as to efficiently deal with changing …

This chapter introduces modern Location Science. It traces the roots of the area and
describes the path leading to the full establishment of this research field. It identifies several …

Problem definition: Our objective is to design a defibrillator-enabled drone network that
augments the existing emergency medical services (EMS) system to rapidly respond to out …

In stochastic optimisation, the large number of scenarios required to faithfully represent the
underlying uncertainty is often a barrier to finding efficient numerical solutions. This …

Supply chain disruptions come with catastrophic consequences in spite of their low
probability of occurrence. In this paper, we consider a facility location problem in the …

We study the design of a network of automatic parcel lockers to facilitate the last-mile
delivery of small parcels where parcels are delivered via service points near their recipients' …

This study proposes a novel reliable hierarchical location-allocation model for health service
network designs where facilities are subject to the risk of disruptions. To characterize the …

Abstract e‐Commerce activity has been increasing during recent years, and this trend is
expected to continue in the near future. e‐Commerce practices are subject to uncertainty …

We consider a class of location–allocation problems with immobile servers, stochastic
demand and congestion that arises in several planning contexts: location of emergency …

In this chapter we describe facility location models where consumers generate streams of
stochastic demands for service, and service times are stochastic. This combination leads to …
