Welcome,
The International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems took place on January 30 – February 1, 2019 in Cádiz (Spain).
It was organized by the Spanish Location Network and GELOCA, the SEIO working group on Location.
The Spanish Location Network is composed of more than 140 researchers, distributed among several Spanish universities.
The aim of the workshop is to promote communication among researchers and to contribute to the development of locational analysis and related problems.
The previous meeting was held in Segovia (September 27–29, 2017).
The topics of interest include location models, networks, transportation, logistics, exact and heuristic solution methods, and computational geometry.
Researchers and practitioners were invited to present works in the form of oral communications.
For participation, the submission of a short abstract was required.
