Abstract
In this study, we review the existing literature on network location problems.
The study has a broad scope that includes problems featuring desirable and
undesirable facilities, point facilities and extensive facilities, monopolistic and
competitive markets, and single or multiple objectives. Deterministic and
stochastic models as well as robust models are covered. Demand data
aggregation is also discussed. More than 500 papers in this area are reviewed
and critical issues, research directions, and problem extensions are emphasized.
