Distributed configuration management is imperative for wireless infrastructureless networks where each node adjusts locally its physical and logical configuration through information exchange with neighbors. Two issues remain open. The…
A typical freight railyard at a manufacturing facility contains multiple tracks used for storage, classification, and outbound train assembly. Individual railcar storage locations on classification tracks are often determined before…
The study of approximate mechanism design for facility location problems has been in the center of research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and economics for the last decades, largely due to its practical importance in…
This article presents a set of tools for the modeling of a spatial allocation problem in a large geographic market and gives examples of applications. In our settings, the market is described by a network that maps the cost of travel…
A Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System is a robotised parts-to-picker system that is particularly well-suited for e-commerce warehousing. One distinguishing feature of this type of warehouse is its high storage modularity. Numerous robots are…
With the development of urbanization, the scale of urban road network continues to expand, especially in some Asian countries. Short-term traffic state prediction is one of the bases of traffic management and control. Constrained by the…
For accommodating more electric vehicles (EVs) to battle against fossil fuel emission, the problem of charging station placement is inevitable and could be costly if done improperly. Some researches consider a general setup, using…
Accurate house prediction is of great significance to various real estate stakeholders such as house owners, buyers, investors, and agents. We propose a location-centered prediction framework that differs from existing work in terms of data…
We investigate a location-allocation-routing problem where trucks deliver goods from a central production facility to a set of warehouses with fixed locations and known demands. Due to limited capacities congestion occurs and results in…
This paper studies the problem of optimizing the train formation plan and traffic routing (TFP&TR) simultaneously. Based on the previous research of TFP&TR with determinate parameters, we consider the fluctuation of flows and associate the…
Urban rail services are the principal means of public transportation in many cities. To understand the crowding patterns and develop efficient operation strategies in the system, obtaining path choices is important. This paper proposed an…
The capacitated location-routing problem involves determining the depots from a set of candidate capacitated depot locations and finding the required routes from the selected depots to serve a set of customers whereas minimizing a cost…
In this paper we describe an approach to the problem of finding optimal positions for charging stations (CS) in a warehouse, where a fleet of electrical industrial trucks/forklifts is employed. Our procedure is motivated by Googles…
Multi-lane roads are typical scenarios in the real-world traffic system. Vehicles usually have preference on lanes according to their routes and destinations. Few of the existing studies looks into the problem of controlling vehicles to…
The bilevel facility location problem (BO-FLP) is one of the core optimization problems behind the design of many decentralized industrial systems, e.g., supply chain systems where a supplier constructs some critical facilities and then…
Utilizing existing transportation networks better and designing (parts of) networks involves routing decisions to minimize transportation costs and maximize consolidation effects. We study the concrete example of hinterland networks for the…
Many real-world classification problems are cost-sensitive in nature, such that the misclassification costs vary between data instances. Cost-sensitive learning adapts classification algorithms to account for differences in…
Edge computing has emerged as a key technology to reduce network traffic, improve user experience, and enable various Internet of Things applications. From the perspective of a service provider (SP), how to jointly optimize the service…
In the strategic facility location problem, a set of agents report their locations in a metric space and the goal is to use these reports to open a new facility, minimizing an aggregate distance measure from the agents to the facility.…
Circuit routing has been a historically challenging problem in designing electronic systems such as very large-scale integration (VLSI) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). The main challenge is that connecting a large number of electronic…
