    A new effective side length expression obtained using a modified tabu search algorithm for the resonant frequency of a triangular microstrip antenna
    (John Wiley & Sons, 1998) Karaboğa, D.; Güney, K.; Kaplan, A.; Akdağli, A.
    A new, very simple curve-fitting expression for the effective side length is presented for the resonant frequency of triangular microstrip antennas. It is obtained using a modified tabu search algorithm, and is useful for the computer-aided design (CAD) of microstrip antennas. The theoretical resonant frequency results obtained using this new effective side length expression are in very good agreement with the experimental results available in the literature.

    Wide area telecommunication network design: Application to the Alberta SuperNet
    (2008) Cabral, E.A.; Erkut, E.; Laporte G.; Patterson, R.A.
    This article proposes a solution methodology for the design of a wide area telecommunication network. This study is motivated by the Alberta SuperNet project, which provides broadband Internet access to 422 communities across Alberta. There are two components to this problem: the network design itself, consisting of selecting which links will be part of the solution and which nodes should house shelters; and the loading problem which consists of determining which signal transport technology should be installed on the selected edges of the network. Mathematical models are described for these two subproblems. A tabu search algorithm heuristic is developed and tested on randomly generated instances and on Alberta SuperNet data. © 2008 Operational Research Society Ltd. All rights reserved.
