The uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem is one of the most famous and most
studied problems in the operations research literature. Given a set of potential facility …

This paper provides a detailed review of metaheuristic applications on discrete facility
location problems. The objective of this paper is to provide a concise summary of solution …

Damage to infrastructure, especially to highways and roads, adversely affects accessibility to
disaster areas. Predicting accessibility to demand points from the supply points by a …

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the recently proposed swarm intelligence
based algorithms for continuous optimization. Therefore it is not possible to use the original …

Algorithms to solve Facility Location Problems (FLP) optimally suffer from combinatorial
explosion and resources required to solve such problems repeatedly as required in practical …

Jaya is a population-based heuristic optimization algorithm proposed for solving constrained
and unconstrained optimization problems. The peculiar distinct feature of Jaya from the …

The uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) is a popular combinatorial optimization
problem with practical applications in different areas, from logistics to telecommunication …

We address the problem of locating collection centers of a company that aims to collect used
products from consumers. The remaining value in the used products that can be captured by …

The purpose of facility location models is to select a set of facilities (warehouses, plants,
public facilities, antennas, etc.) to be implanted over a given area in order to satisfy the …

This paper presents a simulation and optimization based decision-support system (DSS) to
facilitate disaster relief coordination between private and relief organizations. The DSS …
