In this paper we study an assemble-to-order environment involving a short-life-cycle product. The product is sold in two different configurations, each requiring a unique componen...
We consider the problem of computing the optimal swap edges of a shortest-path tree. This theoretical problem arises in practice in systems that offer point-offailure shortest-path...
