An Efficient Method for Min-dist Location Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a set of clients and a set of existing facilities, the min-dist location selection query returns a location from a given set of potential locations for establishing a new facility so that the average distance between a client and her nearest facility is minimized. This type of queries has a wide range of applications in marketing, decision support systems, urban development simulations and massively multiplayer online games. The computational cost of a naive algorithm, which sequentially scans all the potential locations, is too high to process this type of queries in real time. Motivated by this, we propose a branch and bound algorithm that exploits geometric properties of the data objects and early prunes unpromising potential locations from consideration to achieve a higher query processing efficiency. We conduct a detailed cost analysis and extensive experiments to validate the efficiency of the branch and bound algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the naive algorithm constantly.

متن کاملAn integrated AHP-VIKOR methodology for plant location selection
Plant location selection invariably has a significant impact on the performance of many companies or manufacturing systems. In this paper, a novel methodology is structured to solve this problem. The two decision making methods, namely AHP and VIKOR, are integrated in order to make the best use of information available, either implicitly or explicitly. In addition, the Delphi method is utilized...

Hub facility location problem looks to find the most appropriate location for deploying such facilities. An important factor in such a problem is the pool of potential locations from which the optimal locations must be selected. The present research was performed to address two key objectives: identifying the factors contributing to the selection locations for hub establishment, and presenting ...
