In this paper the capacitated hub location problem is formulated by a minimax regret model, which takes into account uncertain setup cost and demand. We focus on hub location with multiple allocations as a strategic problem requiring one…
The Single Allocation Ordered Median Hub Location problem is a recent hub model introduced in Puerto et al. (2011) that provides a unifying analysis of a wide class of hub location mod- els. In this paper, we deal with the capacitated…
In this paper we propose an extension of the Uncapacitated Hub Location Problem where the potential positions of the hubs are not fixed in advance. Instead, they are allowed to belong to a region around an initial discrete set of nodes. We…
This paper introduces the Hub Location Problem under Link Failures, a hub location problem in which activated inter-hub links may fail with a given probability. Two different optimization models are studied, which construct hub backbone…
Several interesting problems in multi-robot systems can be cast in the framework of distributed optimization. Examples include multi-robot task allocation, vehicle routing, target protection, and surveillance. While the theoretical analysis…
Hub location problems have multiple applications in logistic systems, airways industry, supply chain network design, and telecommunication. In the hub location problem, a number of nodes should be selected as the hub nodes to act as the…
We study a joint facility location and cost planning problem in a competitive market under random utility maximization (RUM) models. The objective is to locate new facilities and make decisions on the costs (or budgets) to spend on the new…
Hub location problems are central to optimizing logistics, telecommunications, and transportation networks by consolidating flows through strategically placed hubs. While existing models assume symmetric allocation, where hubs handle…
The hybrid cloud idea is increasingly gaining momentum because it brings distinct advantages as a hosting platform for complex software systems. However, there are several challenges that need to be surmounted before hybrid hosting can…
This article describes a model and an exact solution method for facility location problems with decision-dependent uncertainties. The model allows characterizing the probability distribution of the random elements as a function of the…
This work studies the effect of hub congestion and time-sensitive demand on a hub-and-spoke location/allocation system. The Hub Location with Congestion and Time-sensitive Demand Problem is introduced, which combines these two main…
City logistics involves movements of goods in urban areas respecting the municipal and administrative guidelines. The importance of city logistics is growing over the years especially with its role in minimizing traffic congestion and…
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…
Hub location Problems seek to find hub facilities and assign non-hub nodes to them in such a way that the flow between origin and destination should be effectively established according to the desired goal. In general, in the literature of…
Dynamic facility location problems predominantly suppose a monopoly over the service or product provided. Nonetheless, this premise can be a severe oversimplification in the presence of market competitors, as customers may prefer facilities…
Logistics network is expected that opened facilities work continuously for a long time horizon without any failure, but in real world problems, facilities may face disruptions. This paper studies a reliable joint inventory location problem…
We address the problem of distributed cooperative localization in wireless networks, i.e. nodes without prior position knowledge (agents) wish to determine their own positions. In non-cooperative approaches, positioning is only based on…
Networks of low-cost sensors are becoming ubiquitous, but often suffer from poor accuracies and drift. Regular colocation with reference sensors allows recalibration but is complicated and expensive. Alternatively the calibration can be…
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm, now proving a necessity for utility computing services. Each provider offers a unique service portfolio with a range of resource configurations. Resource provisioning for cloud…
The requirements of modern production systems together with more advanced robotic technologies have fostered the integration of teams comprising humans and autonomous robots. However, along with the potential benefits also comes the…
