March 27-29, 2003 The second workshop of the Integrated Logistics PROBE will be held Thursday, March 27th, through Saturday, March 29th, 2003, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. The summary of the first workshop (held in Princeton NJ on October 31 through November 1, 2002) can be foundhere The purpose of the logistics PROBE is to bring together researchers
and practitioners in Computer Science and Operations Research
to discuss various problems in facility location, clustering,
and network design. These problems were first considered in the
context of locating warehouses to minimize the cost of product
distribution, and subsequent work has shown them to be applicable
to a wide range of fields including analysis of genetic data,
clustering of large databases, and design of telecommunications
networks. We expect a range of talks and speakers encompassing
many aspects of these problems, from the applied perspective (what
sorts of instances arise in various applications; how can we modify
general theoretical techniques to deal with real-life issues),
from the integer programming perspective (what techniques can
we use to find exact solutions for large instances), and from
the approximation perspective (how well can we approximate various
problem types in polynomial, or even linear, running time). Moses Charikar, Ted Giford, Adam Meyerson, R. Ravi
