Welcome

Welcome,

The XIII International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems was celebrated in Granada (Spain) on 4–6 September 2024. This event is organized by the Spanish Network on Location and Related Problems and GELOCA, the SEIO working group on Location. These organizations bring together Spanish researchers focused on locational analysis and related problems, structured in 6 thematic nodes across several Spanish universities. The annual meeting promotes communication among members and international researchers, contributing to the development of the location field. The previous meeting took place in Edinburgh (UK) in September 2023.

The topics of interest include location models, networks, transportation, logistics, exact and heuristic solution methods, and computational geometry. Researchers and practitioners are invited to present oral communications or posters. Participation requires submission of a short abstract.
