ICIE2022 International Conference on Innovation in Engineering
June 28th-30th, 2022
Guimarães, Portugal
Special Session SS10 – Sectorization and Clustering
https://icieng.eu/special-sessions/#1638357866817-3aff0eef-2d54 The organizers of this special session invite you to present original research related to Sectorization and Clustering problems. All the problems involving the partitioning of a set into small subsets, grouping several objects into classes, or organizing data in clusters, given a certain number of criteria, are well suited to the goals of this session. Multiple criteria decision-making and optimization methods are current approaches to solving these problems.
Sectorization and Clustering applications appear in the social area, political districting, the definition of commercial territories, marketing and sales strategies, facility location problems, transportation problems, and many others.
Case studies, surveys, new solution approaches, and applications are welcome. The organizers aim to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars from the Operational Research community to interchange knowledge, to discuss and disseminate new ideas towards the sectorization and clustering in this special session.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Sectorization
- (Re)Districting
- Facility location
- Clustering
- Transportation and logistics
- Vehicle Routing
- K-Means
- Hierarchical Clustering
- Distance metrics
- Machine learning
- Multiple criteria decision-making
- Optimization methods
- Classification methods
Full paper Submission: January 15th, 2022
Length of papers is limited to 12 pages, maximum.
Accepted papers will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering series that are indexed by SCOPUS.
