Geographical Information Systems and Spatial Optimization

"Another CRC Press instant book, another slim volume, but this one meets a largely unfulfilled need; for it links the optimization techniques of operations research (OR) with the spatial data management and analysis techniques of GIS. ... The book is laid out in a clear and straightforward manner and consequently is remarkably easy to follow." --Gerald McGrath, GEOMATICA Vol. 67, No. 1, 2013
