This article comprises the first theoretical and computational study on mixed integer programming (MIP) models for the connected facility location problem (ConFL). ConFL combines...
In this paper we address a well-known facility location problem (FLP) in a sensor network environment. The problem deals with finding the optimal way to provide service to a (poss...
We consider the maximum covering problem, a combinatorial optimization problem that arises in many facility location problems. In this problem, a potential facility site covers a s...
Abstract— Service placement is a key problem in communication networks as it determines how efficiently the user service demands are supported. This problem has been traditional...
Abstract. The availability of commodity multiprocessors offers significant opportunities for addressing the increasing computational requirements of optimization applications. To...
