Opis: The fields of GIS, Operations Research and Location Science have matured and there is a convergence and burgeoning overlap between these fields based upon the demand for better and more accurate spatial data, the demand for better models characterizing real-landscape problem domains, and the demand to map and visualize solutions in order to support decision making across a wide ranging set of scales, from the warehouse floor, to harvest areas in a large forest plantation, to the infrastructure of pipes and pumps, reservoirs, and tanks of a water supply system. Whether a water tower or a retail shop is being located, future applications are likely to be intimately integrated into GIS packages, relying on a wealth of spatial data and spatial operations, and utilizing models that characterized the problem domain in a manner that is as close to ground truth as possible. This is not only the future of business location decision making, but location science applications in general. Looking beyond theoretical location constructs and focusing on the resolution of actual siting problems will result in the production of new models, data constructs, algorithms, and theoretical principles. This book will be the first of many that helps lead the way in this multidisciplinary field.
