DESCRIPTION:Prof. Bernard Gendron\, University of Montreal\, Canada\nIn th
 is talk\, I will give an overview of the applications in transportation of
  network design and facility location models. In particular\, I will prese
 nt three research projects I am involved in that illustrate typical applic
 ations. The first one comes from the forest industry and concerns the loca
 tion of logging camps for workers. The second one focusses on the location
  of vehicle inspection facilities\, taking into account the allocation of 
 patrols. The third one is a facility location problem for an express packa
 ge delivery company.\nBio : Bernard Gendron is a Professor at the Départe
 ment d’informatique et de recherche opérationelle\, Université de Mont
 réal. He was the Director of CIRRELT\, the Interuniversity Research Centr
 e on Enterprise Networks\, Logistics and Transportation (2008-2015). His r
 esearch interests focus on the optimization of logistics and transportatio
 n networks. He has held positions of Principal Scientist at ILOG\, Paris\,
  and of Visiting Professor at MIT\, EPFL\, Pisa\, Nice-Sophia-Antipolis\, 
 Blaise-Pascal\, Versailles and Valenciennes. He has served as Chair of the
  Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS)\, Chair of the Montreal Chap
 ter of CORS\, and Chair of the Section on Transportation Science & Logisti
 cs of INFORMS (the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sc
 iences). He was awarded the CORS Practice Prize (2004)\, the CORS Service 
 Award (2006) and the CORS Merit Award (2010).GC
