A branch-and-cut algorithm for two-level survivable network design problems
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper approaches the problem of designing a two-level network protected against single-edge failures. The problem simultaneously decides on the partition of the set of nodes into terminals and hubs, the connection of ... -
The design of single allocation incomplete hub networks
(Elsevier, 2009)The hub location problem deals with finding the location of hub facilities and allocating the demand nodes to these hub facilities so as to effectively route the demand between any origin-destination pair. In the extensive ... -
Design of translucent optical networks

Designing a road network for hazardous materials transportation
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (I N F O R M S), 2004)Dangerous-goods shipments remain regulated despite the widespread deregulation of the transportation industry. This is mainly due to the societal and environmental risks associated with these shipments. One of the common ... -
The green network design problem
(Elsevier, 2019)Logistics activities are at the heart of world trade, but they also have unintended consequences on the environment due to the use of land, energy, and other types of natural resources. The significant energy usage by the ... -
A hierarchical solution approach for a multicommodity distribution problem under a special cost structure
(2012)Motivated by the spare parts distribution system of a major automotive manufacturer in Turkey, we consider a multicommodity distribution problem from a central depot to a number of geographically dispersed demand points. ... -
Hierarchical Survivable Network Design Problems
(Elsevier, 2016)We address the problem of designing two-level networks protected against single edge failures. A set of nodes must be partitioned into terminals and hubs, hubs must be connected through a backbone network, and terminals ... -
A hub covering model for cargo delivery systems
(Wiley, 2007)The hub location problem appears in a variety of applications including airline systems, cargo delivery systems, and telecommunication network design. When we analyze the application areas separately, we observe that each ... -
Hub location, routing, and route dimensioning: strategic and tactical intermodal transportation hub network design
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2021-10)We propose a novel hub location model that jointly eliminates some of the traditional assumptions on the structure of the network and on the discount as a result of economies of scale in an effort to better reflect real-world ... -
Humanitarian facility location under uncertainty: Critical review and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2021-01-08)This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research done on facility location problems under uncertainty in a humanitarian context. The major goal is to summarize and help structuring this topic, which has increasingly ... -
Multimodal hub location and hub network design
(2012)Through observations from real life hub networks, we introduce the multimodal hub location and hub network design problem. We approach the hub location problem from a network design perspective. In addition to the location ... -
The network design problem with relays
(Elsevier, 2007)The network design problem with relays (NDPR) is defined on an undirected graph G = (V, E, K), where V = {1, ..., n} is a vertex set, E = {(i, j) : i, j ∈ V, i < j} is an edge set. The set K = {(o(k), d(k))} is a set ... -
Optimization framework for simultaneous transmit and receive operations in wireless local area network
(Bilkent University, 2022-05)Full duplex communication technology draws substantial interest among wireless network operators due to its ability to increase the network capacity through concurrent transmissions. Despite this advantage, interference ... -
p-hub median problem for non-complete networks
(Elsevier, 2018)Most hub location studies in the literature use a complete-network structure as an input in developing optimization models. This starting point is not necessarily from assuming that the underlying real-world network (e.g., ... -
A path-based approach for hazmat transport network design
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (I N F O R M S), 2008)The people living and working around the roads used for hazardous material (hazmat) shipments face the risk of suffering undesirable consequences of an accident. The main responsibility to mitigate the hazmat transport ... -
Provisioning virtual private networks under traffic uncertainty
(Wiley, 2007)We investigate a network design problem under traffic uncertainty that arises when provisioning Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): given a set of terminals that must communicate with one another, and a set of possible traffic ... -
Relay location in telecommunications and transportation networks
(Bilkent University, 2016-03)With di↵erent names and functions, relays play a crucial role in the design of telecommunications and transportation networks and finding optimal relay locations is an important concern in various applications. We ... -
The ring/κ-rings network design problem: model and branch-and-cut algorithm
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)This article considers the problem of designing a two-level network where the upper level consists of a backbone ring network connecting the so-called hub nodes, and the lower level is formed by access ring networks that ... -
Robust gateway placement in wireless mesh networks
(Elsevier, 2018)Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are communication networks that provide wireless Internet access over areas with limited infrastructure. Each node in a WMN serves several clients in its coverage area and transfers their ... -
Rule-based in-network processing in wireless sensor networks
(IEEE, 2009-07)Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks, and usually a new network design is required for a new application. In event-driven wireless sensor network applications, the sink node of the network is generally ...
