Emergency service systems: The use of the hypercube queueing model in the solution of probabilistic location problems

Probabilistic location problems are surveyed from the perspective of their use in the design of emergency service systems, with special emphasis on emergency medical systems. Pioneering probabilistic models were defined in the 1980s, as a natural extension of deterministic covering models (first generation models) and backup models (second generation). These probabilistic models, however, adopted simplifying assumptions that in many cases do not correspond to real-world situations, where servers usually cooperate and have specific individual workloads . Thus the idea of embedding the hypercube queueing model into these formulations is to make them more adherent to the real world. The hypercube model and its extensions are initially presented in some detail, which is followed by a brief review of exact and approximate methods for its solution. Probabilistic models for the design of emergency service systems are then reviewed. The pioneering models of Daskin and ReVelle and Hogan are extended by embedding the hypercube model into them. Solution methods for these models are surveyed next, with comments on specialized models for the design of emergency medical systems for urban areas and highways.     

A parallel local search approach to solving the uncapacitated warehouse location problem

The uncapacitated warehouse location problem (UWLP) has been studied by many researchers. It has been solved using various approaches, including branch and bound linear programming, tabu search, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms. This study presents a new local search (LS) approach to the UWLP that is quite simple and robust and is efficient in some cases. The algorithm was tested against standard OR Library benchmarks and M^* instances, which have already been used to test other approaches. The results show that the only disadvantage of the algorithm is the exponential growth of its computation time with the problem size. However, the multi-search design suggested here enables the algorithm to run under multi-processor or multi-core systems, which are currently provided as part of standard PC configurations.

Improved Tabu search heuristics for the dynamic space allocation problem

The dynamic space allocation problem (DSAP) presented in this paper considers the task of assigning items (resources) to locations during a multi-period planning horizon such that the cost of rearranging the items is minimized. Three tabu search heuristics are presented for this problem. The first heuristic is a simple basic tabu search heuristic. The second heuristic adds diversification and intensification strategies to the first, and the third heuristic is a probabilistic tabu search heuristic. To test the performances of the heuristics, a set of test problems from the literature is used in the analysis. The results show that the tabu search heuristics are efficient techniques for solving the DSAP. More importantly, the proposed tabu search heuristic with diversification/intensification strategies found new best solutions using less computation time for one-half of all the test problems.

Local search heuristics for the mobile facility location problem

In the mobile facility location problem (MFLP), one seeks to relocate (or move) a set of existing facilities and assign clients to these facilities so that the sum of facility movement costs and the client travel costs (each to its assigned facility) is minimized. This paper studies formulations and develops local search heuristics for the MFLP. First, we develop an integer programming (IP) formulation for the MFLP by observing that for a given set of facility destinations the problem may be decomposed into two polynomially solvable subproblems. This IP formulation is quite compact in terms of the number of nonzero coefficients in the constraint matrix and the number of integer variables; and allows for the solution of large-scale MFLP instances. Using the decomposition observation, we propose two local search neighborhoods for the MFLP. We report on extensive computational tests of the new IP formulation and local search heuristics on a large range of instances. These tests demonstrate that the proposed formulation and local search heuristics significantly outperform the existing formulation and a previously developed local search heuristic for the problem.     

A novel grouping harmony search algorithm for the multiple-type access node location problem

In this paper we present a novel grouping harmony search algorithm for the Access Node Location Problem (ANLP) with different types of concentrators. The ANLP is a NP-hard problem where a set of distributed terminals, with distinct rate demands, must be assigned to a variable number of concentrators subject to capacity constraints. We consider the possibility of choosing between different concentrator models is given in order to provide service demand at different cost. The ANLP is relevant in communication networks design, and has been considered before within the design of MPLS networks, for example. The approach we propose to tackle the ANLP problem consists of a hybrid Grouping Harmony Search (GHS) algorithm with a local search method and a technique for repairing unfeasible solutions. Moreover, the presented scheme also includes the adaptation of the GHS to a differential scheme, where each proposed harmony is obtained from the same harmony in the previous iteration. This differential scheme is perfectly adapted to the specifications of the ANLP problem, as it utilizes the grouping concept based on the proximity between nodes, instead of being only based on the grouping concept. This allows for a higher efficiency on the searching process of the algorithm. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations in synthetic instances show that this proposal provides faster convergence rate, less computational complexity and better statistical performance than alternative algorithms for the ANLP, such as grouping genetic algorithms, specially when the size of the scenario increases. We also include practical results for the application of GHS to a real wireless network deployment problem in Bizkaia, northern Spain.     

A parallel hybrid local search algorithm for the container loading problem

In this contribution, a parallel hybrid local search algorithm for the three‐dimensional container loading problem (CLP) is proposed. First a simulated annealing method for the CLP is developed, which is then combined with an existing tabu search algorithm to form a hybrid metaheuristic. Finally, parallel versions are introduced for these algorithms. The emphasis is on CLP instances with a weakly heterogeneous load. Numerical tests based on the well‐known 700 test instances from Bischoff and Ratcliff are performed, and the outcome is compared with methods from other authors. The results show a high solution quality obtained with reasonable computing time.     

A parallel tabu search for solving the primal buffer allocation problem in serial production systems

This paper presents a novel parallel tabu search (PTS) algorithm equipped with a proper adaptive neighborhood generation mechanism to solve the primal buffer allocation problem, which consists of minimizing the total buffer capacity of a serial production system under a minimum throughput rate constraint. An evaluative method based on a specific algorithm has been implemented to simulate the system behavior. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed PTS a mixed integer linear programming-based simulation/optimization approach and several metaheuristics from the relevant literature have been implemented. Since most metaheuristics are sensitive to the parameter setting, a proper calibration analysis based on a non-parametric test has been performed. Then, a comprehensive comparison analysis, concerning with both quality of solutions and computational efficiency, has been carried out. Finally, through the numerical results obtained from PTS, a multi-factorial experimental analysis has been developed to analyze the influencing factors of the problem under investigation.

Abstract: In this paper we address the problem of locating a maximum weighted number of facilities such that no two are within a specified distance from each other. A natural process of evolution approach, more specifically a genetic algorithm, is proposed to solve this problem. It is shown that through the use of a commercially available spreadsheet-based genetic algorithm software package, the decision-maker with a fundamental knowledge of spreadsheets can easily set up and solve this optimization problem. Also, we report on our extensive computational experience using three different data sets.
