This paper presents a modeling oriented survey of stochastic location problems. It covers in detail three main areas of location theory where stochastic models have been proposed: stochastic location on networks which includes stochastic extensions of Hakimi’s theorem and stochastic queuing location models, discrete stochastic location and covering models. Some information is also given about stochastic extensions of continuous location models and of location-routing models.
