Stochastic Optimum Energy Management for Advanced Transportation Network

Stochastic Transportation-Inventory Network Design Problem

In this paper, we study the stochastic transportation-inventory network design problem involving one supplier and multiple retailers. Each retailer faces some uncertain demand. Due to this uncertainty, some amount of safety stock must be maintained to achieve suitable service levels. However, risk-pooling benefits may be achieved by allowing some retailers to serve as distribution centers (and ...

Advanced mobility management for reduced interference and energy consumption in the two-tier LTE-Advanced network

Femtocell deployment will play a key role for the wide adoption of LTE-Advanced, as it brings the access network closer to the end user in a cost-effective manner. This disruptive communication paradigm, however, necessitates the employment of advanced interference and mobility management to cope with the comparably denser yet unplanned network layout. This paper describes an advanced mobility ...

A two-stage stochastic programming model for transportation network protection

This talk discusses some modeling and solution methods for the problem of pre‐disaster transportation network protection against uncertain future disasters. Given limited resources, the goal of the central planner is to choose the best set of network components to protect while allowing the network users to follow their own best perceived routes in any resultant network configuration. This prob...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...
