Network and discrete location. Models, algorithms, and applications (to appear) The second edition focuses on real-world extensions of the basic models used in locating facilities, including production and distribution systems, location-inventory models, and defender-interdictor problems. A unique taxonomy of location problems and models is also presented. Featuring examples using the author’s own software -- SITATION, MOD-DIST, and MENU-OKF -- as well as Microsoft Office Excel, the book provides: -- A theoretical and applied perspective on location models and algorithms -- An intuitive presentation of the uses and limits of modeling techniques -- An introduction to integrated location-inventory modeling and defender-interdictor models for the design of reliable facility location systems -- A full range of exercises to equip readers with an understanding of the basic facility location model types
