Population growth and city sprawl have been driving increasing amounts of traffic congestion in multiple major cities worldwide. In this scenario, developing...
BibTeX referenceOn global fragmentation metrics as proxy for network blocking: Correlation, detection and prediction
Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) are challenged by spectrum fragmentation, which can obstruct the establishment of new connections. While the concept of fragm...

This paper addresses the limitations of current satellite payload architectures, which are predominantly hardware-driven and lack the flexibility to adapt to...
BibTeX reference
This paper tackles a complex variant of the unit commitment (UC) problem at Hydro-Quebec, referred to as the transient stability constrained unit commitmen...
BibTeX referenceJoint optimization of electric bus scheduling and fast charging infrastructure location planning
Transit authorities are rapidly replacing conventional buses with electric ones because of the increasing concerns about air quality, greenhouse gas emission...

This paper describes a planning problem faced by a fast-growing petroleum company in West Africa. The problem is a complex variant of the petrol station repl...
BibTeX reference
The truck loading and inventory routing problems are the two most important decisions made by companies replenishing petrol stations. This paper investigates...
BibTeX reference
Bus scheduling in public transit consists in determining a set of bus schedules to cover a set of timetabled trips at minimum cost. This planning process has...

Monte Carlo (MC) is widely used for the simulation of discrete time Markov chains. We consider the case of a \(d\)
-dimensional continuous state space and w...
Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) methods provide unbiased estimators whose variance often converges at a faster rate than standard Monte Carlo as a functi...
BibTeX reference
We consider the set of graphs that can be constructed from a one-vertex graph by repeatedly adding a clique or a stable set linked to all or none of the vert...
BibTeX reference
Classical mean field games (MFG) have been concerned with large games amongst symmetrically influential agents with asymptotically negligible weight. In th...

We review the development of the concept of effective bandwidth from its origin in the planning and management of ATM networks. We start with the extension...
BibTeX referenceThe primal Benders decomposition
Benders decomposition has been applied significantly to tackle large-scale optimization problems with complicating variables, which, when temporarily fixed, ...
BibTeX reference
Operations research specialists at the OCP Group, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, and the Polytechnique Montreal operationalized a system optimizing ...
BibTeX reference
Tactical wireless networks are used in cases where standard telecommunication networks are unavailable or unusable, e.g. disaster relief operations. We fully...
