The efficiency and dynamism of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, have presented
substantial application opportunities in several industries in the last years. Notably, logistic …

This paper explores the capabilities of decision tree ensembles (DTEs) for detecting and
localizing damage in structural health monitoring (SHM). Unlike research on many other …

Modern production systems require multiple manufacturing centers—usually distributed
among different locations—where the outcomes of each center need to be assembled to …

The topic of this paper is the Capacitated Dispersion Problem (CDP). To solve the problem,
variable neighborhood search (VNS) based heuristics are proposed. The proposed …

The obnoxious p-median problem (OpM) is one of the NP-hard combinatorial optimization
problems, in which the goal is to find optimal places to facilities that are undesirable (eg …

The obnoxious p-median problem (OpM) is to determine a set of opened facilities such that
the sum of distances between each client and the opened facilities is maximized. OpM is a …

This paper examines a new model for hub location known as the hub location routing
problem. The problem shares similarities with the well studied uncapacitated single …

The optimization of the high-end equipment manufacturing process is becoming
progressively more difficult, which brings a big challenge for high-end equipment …

There are many planar multiple facilities location problems for which the optimal locations
tend to be spread out. The most popular of these is the planar p-median problem. With this in …

In this paper, we study an integrated physician planning and scheduling problem (IPPSP)
considering multiple types of services, which can be done by multiple qualifications of …
