Over the past decades, the Multicommodity Network Flow (MCNF) problem has grown
popular in the academic literature and a growing number of researchers are interested in …

This work focuses on a hybrid preference-based electric vehicle charging station location
problem, which considers multiple optimization preferences of distribution network …

Over the last decades, network design problems (NDPs) have been one of the most
investigated combinatorial optimisation problems that are still catching the interest of both …

Hazardous materials (HazMat) transportation is one of the indispensable links in the
chemical process industry and is closely related to safety, security, and environmental …

This paper develops a new mathematical model for a capacitated solid step fixed-charge
transportation problem. The problem is formulated as a two-stage transportation network …

The increasing exploration of alternative methods for solving optimization problems causes
that parallelization and modification of the existing algorithms are necessary. Obtaining the …

This paper addresses the planning and deployment of wireless heterogeneous networks
(WHNs) for smart metering, based on a cross-layer solution. We combine the constraints of …

Heuristics and metaheuristics are widely used to tackle difficult network design problems.
We first present fundamental concepts for the development of heuristic approaches, such as …

We present a parallel large neighborhood search framework for finding high quality primal
solutions for general mixed-integer programs (MIPs). The approach simultaneously solves a …

The production–distribution problem relates to the location of manufacturing plants and
warehouses, and to the distribution of multiple commodities from plants to warehouses and …
