Given n interacting nodes in a network, the Uncapacitated Hub Location Problem (UHP) determines the number of hubs, the location for the hubs, and the assignment of the spokes to hubs that minimizes the overall transportation cost. The hubs are interconnected and each spoke is assigned to a single h
This article considers the preventive flow interception problem (FIP) on a network. Given a directed network with known origin-destination path flows, each generating a certain amount of risk, the preventive FIP consists of optimally locating m facilities on the network in order to maximize the tota
A detailed discrete-event simulation model is extensively utilized by a major chemical process facility to evaluate new plant designs. This model is further exploited using known statistical techniques to provide valuable sensitivity analysis feedback to engineers for process analysis and improvemen
In this paper, we study approximation algorithms for several NP-hard facility location problems.We prove that a simple local search heuristic yields polynomialtime constant-factor approximation bounds for the metric versions of the uncapacitated k-median problem and the uncapacitated facility locati
