Facility layout is a well-known operations research problem that arises in numerous areas of applications. The multi-row facility layout problem is concerne...

The analytic center cutting plane method and its proximal variant are well known techniques for solving convex programming problems. We propose two seq...

A game theoretical model featuring a manufacturer and two dealers is proposed to investigate the effects of downstream horizontal integration on network perf...

Using a heuristic optimization module based upon Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), the system AutoGraphiX's main feature is to find extremal or near extre...

The focus of the paper is on adequate service and content distribution with Dedicated Channels having a Small number of Viewers (DCSV for short) in a multi-c...

This paper deals with the joint planning and energy management operation of Wireless Mesh Networks. We claim that energy management should be incorporated a...

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) benefit from several features, such as decision-making, spectrum-awareness and reconfigurability, which enable them to perfor...

In this paper we analyze the promising, but yet mostly unexplored, ability of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) based on cognitive radios (CR) to provide a...

In this paper, we introduce a queueing approach with server interruptions to analyze the performance of a cognitive radio (CR) link subject to recurrent fail...

Cognitive radio-based Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks enjoy the interesting features of cognitive Radios (CR), such as learning and reconfigurability, wh...

Cognitive radios (CR) are an efficient approach to deploy a secondary network in the vacant portions of the spectrum licensed to primary networks. However, w...

To ensure widespread deployment and popularity, next generation wireless services will require a Quality of Service (QoS), and particularly a reliability, th...

Although the main objectives of dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios are to solve the problem of spectrum scarcity and usage inefficiency, we show in...

We propose a new generic flow formulation for Failure-Independent Path-Protecting (FIPP) <i>p</i>-cycles subject to multiple failures. While our new model re...

With the growing popularity of bandwidth demanding services such as HDTV, VoD, and video conferencing applications, there is an increasing demand on broadb...

This paper presents an analysis of a compiled database of power consumption and networking functionalities found in datasheets of routers and switches of so...

We consider a Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with a single manufacturer and a single retailer. We characterize and compare the feedback equilibrium resul...

Under some standard market assumptions, evaluating a derivative implies computing the discounted expected value of its future cash flows. In that context, th...

We study call routing policies commonly used in call centers with multiple call types and multiple agent groups. We propose a new weight-based routing polic...
