Location Problems have countless applications both in
the industrial and in the public sector.
For example, optimized locations for
production facilities and warehouses, for hospitals,
fire stations and other public services, or for
sensors on mechanical structures can significantly help
decrease transportation cost and / or improve service
and quality.
The course will cover the following classical
location models and concepts:
1) Introduction: Motivation and Applications
2) Single-Facility Continuous Location
3) Multi-Facility Continuous Location
4) Discrete and Network Location
