Networks reliability analysis consists of determining the probability of correct operations of a system. Generally, the network is modeled as a connected graph and formally approached as a stochastic coherent binary system (SCBS). It represents the functioning of a system such as telecommunication and transportation networks, or simply hardware/software devices. Real networks model could be ver...

Executive Summary The continuous growth of cyber security threats and attacks including the increasing sophistication of malware is impacting the security of critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control systems. The reliable operation of modern infrastructures depends on computerized systems and SCADA systems. Since the emerge...

Hub location-allocation problems are currently a subject of keen interest in the research community. However, when this issue is considered in practice, significant difficulties such as traffic, commodity transportation and telecommunication tend to be overlooked. In this paper, a novel robust mathematical model for a p-hub covering problem, which tackles the intrinsic uncertainty of some param...

The concept of an Operations Center (OC) is a familiar one, particularly in military environments. The NASA Space Center for monitoring space flights perhaps best embodies the notion of what an OC looks like. Private companies have similar needs with respect to their day to day operations. For example in the transportation logistics and telecommunication area large enterprises start to develop ...

Mobile communication systems produce gigabytes of mobility information day-to-day on country level, which could be exploited in various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. This paper presents the basic concept for tracking users based on handover (HO) zone detections provided by the telecommunication network. This concept is able to provide essential information for transporta...

The fixed-charge capacitated multicommodity network design formulation (CMND) represents a generic model for a wide range of applications in planning the construction, development, improvement, and operation of transportation, logistics, telecommunication, and production systems (Balakrishnan, Magnanti, and Mirchandani 1997 and references therein). In these applications, multiple commodities (g...

(ABSTRACT) This research is concerned with the development of algorithmic approaches for solving problems that arise in the design and analysis of telecommunication networks, location-allocation distribution contexts, and intelligent transportation networks. Specifically, the corresponding problems addressed in these areas are a local access and transport area (LATA) network design problem, the...

Success in improving the tourism industry’s performance depends on support system facilities and role of stakeholders. However, stakeholders increasing potential to industry activities, especially a dynamic environment, still needs further elucidation. Therefore, main objective this study was identify factors that influence improvement produce strategies for industry. In study, we conducted emp...

Not available services or service interruption could have different impact to our social life. Emails or messages which are not delivered in a proper time-frame could lead to omit a meeting or a discussion with colleagues. Interconnected CPS in different domains, like autonomous driving, smart grids, Industry 4.0, needs a guaranteed and safe delivery of information. Nowadays distributed applica...
