In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
The location of facilities in order to provide service for customers is a well-studied problem in the operations research literature. In the basic model, there is a predefined cos...
—With the explosive deployment of “triple play” (voice, video and data services) over the same access network, guaranteeing a certain-level of survivability for the access ne...
This paper presents the design and analysis of parallel approximation algorithms for facility-location problems, including NC and RNC algorithms for (metric) facility location, k-...
The facility design problem is a common one in manufacturing and service industries and has been studied extensively in the literature. However, restrictions on the scope of the de...
