A Multi Objective Graph Based Model for Analyzing Survivability of Vulnerable Networks
Authors
Abstract:
In the various fields of disaster management, choosing the best location for the Emergency Support & Supply Service Centers (ESSSCs) and the survivability of the network that provides the links between ESSSCs and their environment has a great role to be paid enough attention. This paper introduces a graph based model to measure the survivability of the linking's network. By values computed for time and cost of recovery of link failures, the proposed locations for ESSSCs can be ranked. By considering the conflicts that can be arise between maximizing the survivability of the network and minimizing the time and cost of recovery of link failures, an algorithm is proposed that use a Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Method. A numerical example is provided and solved to illustrate how the algorithm works. Having solved the problem with different weighting vectors, a discussion is made on the sensitivity analysis of the solution.

The problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. We seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. We assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. The decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
