Abstract: Abstract This chapter covers different aspects related with facility location problems involving time-dependent parameters. The emphasis is put on problems defined over a multi-period finite planning horizon. An overview of continuous and network problems is presented, although most of the chapter focuses on a discrete setting. Basic modeling aspects and solution techniques are discussed. Additionally, some features of practical relevance are considered. The value of the multi-period solution is introduced as a measure for the relevance of considering a multi-period modeling framework instead of a time-invariant one. Current challenges and future trends on the topic are discussed.
