In this paper, we formulate the problem of trusted routing as a transaction of services over a complex networked environment. We present definitions from service-oriented environments that unambiguously capture the difference between trust and reputation relations. We show that the trustworthiness metrics associated with these relations have a linear order embedded in them. Identifying this ord...

This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...

To solve the location-routing problem of maritime emergency materials distribution (MEMD-LRP) multi-agent joint decision, a bi-level programming model MEMD-LRP is constructed. The established on premise considering rescue time window and priority, aiming at strong regional characteristics accidents, timeliness rescue, great difficulty high cost so on. From point view management department, uppe...

This paper considers a multi-period, multi-product inventory-routing problem in a two-level supply chain consisting of a distributor and a set of customers. This problem is modeled with the aim of minimizing bi-objectives, namely the total system cost (including startup, distribution and maintenance costs) and risk-based transportation. Products are delivered to customers by some heterogeneous ...

Abstract The issue of carbon emission reduction has attracted extensive attention in academic circles, but there are few studies on the Pareto frontier analysis multi-depot green vehicle routing problem with multi-objective. In order to effectively balance economic and environmental effects, this paper constructs a bi-objective optimization model for open problems time windows, which takes oper...

delivering perishable products to customers as soon as possible and with the minimum cost has been always a challenge for producers and has been emphasized over recent years due to the global market becoming more competitive. in this paper a multi-objective mix integer non-linear programming model is proposed to maximize both profits of a distributer and the total freshness of the several produ...
