This paper addresses a multi-period line planning problem in an integrated passenger-freight railway system, aiming to maximize profit while serving passengers and freight using a combination of dedicated passenger trains, dedicated freight…
This paper deals with the problem of clearing sequential electricity markets under uncertainty. We consider the European approach, where reserves are traded separately from energy to meet exogenous reserve requirements. Recently pro- posed…
In this paper, we investigate resource allocation for multicarrier communication systems employing a full-duplex base station for serving multiple half-duplex downlink and uplink users simultaneously. We study the joint power and subcarrier…
We provide a framework for the assignment of multiple robots to goal locations, when robot travel times are uncertain. Our premise is that time is the most valuable asset in the system. Hence, we make use of redundant robots to counter the…
Next location prediction is a discipline that involves predicting a users next location. Its applications include resource allocation, quality of service, energy efficiency, and traffic management. This paper proposes an energy-efficient,…
A large number of application problems involve two levels of optimization, where one optimization task is nested inside the other. These problems are known as bilevel optimization problems and have been studied by both classical…
Given the probability measure $\nu$ over the given region $\Omega\subset \R^n$, we consider the optimal location of a set $\Sigma$ composed by $n$ points $\Om$ in order to minimize the average distance $\Sigma\mapsto \int_\Om…
We consider a continuous-review inventory system in which the setup cost of each order is a general function of the order quantity and the demand process is modeled as a Brownian motion with a positive drift. Assuming the holding and…
Our work is motivated by the need for impromptu (or "as-you-go") deployment of relay nodes (for establishing a packet communication path with a control centre) by fire-men/commandos while operating in an unknown environment. We consider a…
We address the problem of locating facilities on the $[0,1]$ interval based on reports from strategic agents. The cost of each agent is her distance to the closest facility, and the global objective is to minimize either the maximum cost of…
Efficient tabletop rearrangement planning seeks to find high-quality solutions while minimizing total cost. However, the task is challenging due to object dependencies and limited buffer space for temporary placements. The complexity…
We consider the problem of distributed downlink beam scheduling and power allocation for millimeter-Wave (mmWave) cellular networks where multiple base stations (BSs) belonging to different service operators share the same unlicensed…

Large infrastructure networks (e.g. for transportation and power distribution) require constant monitoring for failures, congestion, and other adversarial events. However, assigning a sensor to every link in the network is often infeasible…
Wireless mobile backhaul networks have been proposed as a substitute in cases in which wired alternatives are not available due to economical or geographical reasons. In this work, we study the location problem of base stations in a given…
Grid-based storage systems with uniformly shaped loads (e.g., containers, pallets, totes) are commonplace in logistics, industrial, and transportation domains. A key performance metric for such systems is the maximization of space…
The performance of industrial robotic work cells depends on optimizing various hyperparameters referring to the cell layout, such as robot base placement, tool placement, and kinematic design. Achieving this requires a bilevel optimization…
With increasing freight demands for inner-city transport, shifting freight from road to scheduled line services such as buses, metros, trams, and barges is a sustainable solution. Public authorities typically impose economic policies,…
The transition from conventional mobility to electromobility largely depends on charging infrastructure availability and optimal placement.This paper examines the optimal placement of charging stations in urban areas. We maximise the…
