This paper describes an innovative framework, iFAOSimo, which integrates optimization, simulation and GIS (geographic information system) techniques to handle complex spatial faci...
— Optimal location (OL) queries are a type of spatial queries particularly useful for the strategic planning of resources. Given a set of existing facilities and a set of clients...
In the literature, optimization models deal with planning and scheduling of several subsystems of the petroleum supply chain such as oilfield infrastructure, crude oil supply, ref...
In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
