Location analysis has matured from an area of theoretical inquiry
that was designed to explain observed phenomena to a vibrant field
which can be and has been used to locate items as diverse as
landfills, fast food outlets, gas stations, as well as politicians
and products in issue and feature spaces. Modern location science
is dealt with by a diverse group of researchers and practitioners
in geography, economics, operations research, industrial
engineering, and computer science. Given the tremendous advances
location science has seen from its humble beginnings, it is time to
look back. The contributions in this volume were written by eminent
experts in the field, each surveying the original contributions
that created the field, and then providing an up-to-date review of
the latest contributions. Specific areas that are covered in this
volume include: * The three main fields of inquiry: minisum and
minimax problems and covering models * Nonstandard location models,
including those with competitive components, models that locate
undesirable facilities, models with probabilistic features, and
problems that allow interactions between facilities * Descriptions
and detailed examinations of exact techniques including the famed
Weiszfeld method, and heuristic methods ranging from Lagrangean
techniques to Greedy algorithms * A look at the spheres of
influence that the facilities generate and that attract customers
to them, a topic crucial in planning retail facilities * The theory
of central places, which, other than in mathematical games, where
location science was born
