This paper introduces FLP Spreadsheet Solver, an open source spreadsheet based Decision Support System for Facility Location Problems. Structure of the spreadsheets, interface of the solver, and a Tabu Search algorithm...

We study a class of quantitative models for higher-order computation: Lafont categories with (infinite) biproducts. Each of these has a complete “internal semiring” and can be enriched over its modules. We describe a...

Existing decoupled energy and carbon trading market leads to an inefficient and suboptimal operation of the distribution networks regarding economic interests and emission reduction. Corresponding to these issues, this paper...

Information systems research emphasizes that blockchain requires trust in the technology itself. However, we lack knowledge on the applicability of established trust cues to blockchain technology. Thus, this paper's objective...

This paper reviews the state of the art of directly driven proportional directional hydraulic spool valves, which are widely used hydraulic components in the industrial and transportation sectors. First, the construction and...

In a generalized network design (GND) problem, a set of resources are assigned (non-exclusively) to multiple requests. Each request contributes its weight to the resources it uses and the total load on a resource is then...

Microgrids are industrial technologies that can provide energy resources for the Internet of Things (IoT) demands in smart grids. Hybrid microgrids supply quality power to the IoT devices and ensure high resiliency in supply...

In this paper, we propose a parking allocation model that takes into account the basic constraints and objectives of a problem where parking lots are assigned to vehicles. We assume vehicles are connected and can exchange...

We consider nonadaptive group testing with Bernoulli tests, where each item is placed in each test independently with some fixed probability. We give a tight threshold on the maximum number of tests required to find the...

Grid-connected electric vehicles (GEVs) and energy-transportation nexus bring a bright prospect to improve the penetration of renewable energy and the economy of microgrids (MGs). However, it is challenging to determine...

Purpose: The gradual increase in geriatric issues and global imbalance of the ratio between patients and healthcare professionals have created a demand for intelligent systems with the least error-prone diagnosis results to...

The adoption of grid-connected electric vehicles (GEVs) brings a bright prospect for promoting renewable energy. An efficient vehicle-to-grid (V2G) scheduling scheme that can deal with renewable energy volatility and protect...

Given a graph, a set of origin-destination (OD) pairs with communication requirements, and an integer k 2, the network design problem with vulnerability constraints (NDPVC) is to identify a subgraph with the minimum total...
