In 5G Ultra-Dense Networks, a distributed wireless backhaul is an attractive solution for forwarding traffic to the core. The macro-cell coverage area is divided into many small cells. A few of these cells are designated as gateways and are…

Since the rising of the takeaway ordering platform, the M platform has taken the lead in the industry with its high-quality service. The increasing order volume leads the competition between platforms to reduce the distribution cost, which…

We present a fast, flexible heuristic for setting up warehouse locations for quick commerce businesses, with the goal of serving the largest number of customers under the constraints of delivery radius and maximum daily deliveries per…

Multi-horizon time series forecasting has many practical applications such as demand forecasting. Accurate demand prediction is critical to help make buying and inventory decisions for supply chain management of e-commerce and physical…

The aim of this work is to present a meta-heuristically approach of the spatial assignment problem of human resources in multi-sites enterprise. Usually, this problem consists to move employees from one site to another based on one or more…

The development of smart grids has effectively transformed the traditional grid system. This promises numerous advantages for economic values and autonomous control of energy sources. In smart grids development, there are various objectives…

Amidst the era of networking, the e-commerce sector has undergone notable expansion, notably with the advent of Cross-border E-commerce (CBEC) in recent times. This growth trend persists, necessitating robust logistical frameworks to…

The growing deployment of sensors as part of Internet of Things (IoT) is generating thousands of event streams. Complex Event Processing (CEP) queries offer a useful paradigm for rapid decision-making over such data sources. While often…

Logistic hubs play a pivotal role in the last-mile delivery distance; even a slight increment in distance negatively impacts the business of the e-commerce industry while also increasing its carbon footprint. The growth of this industry,…

The latency location routing problem integrates the facility location problem and the multi-depot cumulative capacitated vehicle routing problem. This problem involves making simultaneous decisions about depot locations and vehicle routes…

This paper presents an integrated algorithmic framework for minimising product delivery costs in e-commerce (known as the cost-to-serve or C2S). One of the major challenges in e-commerce is the large volume of spatio-temporally diverse…

This research is focused on solving problems in the area of software project management using metaheuristic search algorithms and as such is research in the field of search based software engineering. The main aim of this research is to…

Grocery home delivery services require customers to be present when their deliveries arrive. Hence, the grocery retailer and the customer must mutually agree on a time window during which the delivery can be guaranteed. This concept is…

Last-mile delivery in the logistics chain contributes to emissions and increased congestion. Crowd-shipping is a sustainable and low-cost alternative to traditional delivery, but relies heavily on the availability of occasional couriers. In…

Edge computing hosts applications close to the end users and enables low-latency real-time applications. Modern applications inturn have adopted the microservices architecture which composes applications as loosely coupled smaller…

Understanding the dynamics of evolving social or infrastructure networks is a challenge in applied areas such as epidemiology, viral marketing, or urban planning. During the past decade, data has been collected on such networks but has yet…

Technologies and lifestyles have been increasingly geared toward consumerism in recent years. Accordingly, it is both the price and the delivery time that matter most to the ultimate customers of commercial enterprises. Consequently, the…

Facility location problems aim to identify the best locations to set up new services. Majority of the existing works typically assume that the users are static. However, there exists a wide array of services such as fuel stations, ATMs,…

This paper addresses the problem of managing perishable inventory under multiple sources of uncertainty, including stochastic demand, unreliable supplier fulfillment, and probabilistic product shelf life. We develop a discrete-event…

The facility location problem is a well-known challenge in logistics that is proven to be NP-hard. In this paper we specifically simulate the geographical placement of facilities to provide adequate service to customers. Determining…
