A Finite Dominating Set Algorithm for a Dynamic Location Problem in the Plane
(2014)
- A single facility problem in the plane is considered, where an optimal location has to be identified for each of finitely many time-steps with respect to time-dependent weights and demand points. It is shown that the median objective can be reduced to a special case of the static multifacility median problem such that results from the latter can be used to tackle the dynamic location problem. When using block norms as distance measure between facilities, a Finite Dominating Set (FDS) is derived. For the special case with only two time-steps, the resulting algorithm is analyzed with respect to its worst-case complexity. Due to the relation between dynamic location problems for T time periods and T-facility problems, this algorithm can also be applied to the static 2-facility location problem.

Algorithms for Time-Dependent Bicriteria Shortest Path Problems (revised version)
(2004)
- In this paper we generalize the classical shortest path problem in two ways. We consider two objective functions and time-dependent data. The resulting problem, called the time-dependent bicriteria shortest path problem (TdBiSP), has several interesting practical applications, but has not gained much attention in the literature.

Algorithms for Time Dependent Bicriteria Shortest Path Problems
(2003)
- We generalize the classical shortest path problem in two ways. We consider two - in general contradicting - objective functions and introduce a time dependency of the cost which is caused by a traversal time on each arc. The resulting problem, called time-dependent bicriteria shortest path problem (TdBiSP) has several interesting practical applications, but has not attained much attention in the literature.

Earliest Arrival Flows with Time-Dependent Data
(2003)
- In this paper we discuss an earliest arrival flow problem of a network having arc travel times and capacities that vary with time over a finite time horizon T. We also consider the possibility to wait (or park) at a node before departingon outgoing arc. This waiting is bounded by the value of maximum waiting time and the node capacity which also vary with time.

Classification of Location Problems
(1999)
- There are several good reasons to introduce classification schemes for optimization problems including, for instance, the ability for concise problem statement opposed to verbal, often ambiguous, descriptions or simple data encoding and information retrieval in bibliographical information systems or software libraries. In some branches like scheduling and queuing theory classification is therefore a widely accepted and appreciated tool. The aim of this paper is to propose a 5-position classification which can be used to cover all location problems. We will provide a list of currentliy available symbols and indicate its usefulness in a - necessarily non-comprehensive - list of classical location problems. The classification scheme is in use since 1992 and has since proved to be useful in research, software development, classroom, and for overview articles.

Bicriteria approach to the optimal location of surveillance cameras
(2014)
- We consider the problem of finding efficient locations of surveillance cameras, where we distinguish between two different problems. In the first, the whole area must be monitored and the number of cameras should be as small as possible. In the second, the goal is to maximize the monitored area for a fixed number of cameras. In both of these problems, restrictions on the ability of the cameras, like limited depth of view or range of vision are taken into account. We present solution approaches for these problems and report on results of their implementations applied to an authentic problem. We also consider a bicriteria problem with two objectives: maximizing the monitored area and minimizing the number of cameras, and solve it for our study case.

Acquisition Prioritization: A Multicriteria Approach Based on a Case Study
(2006)
- Selection of new projects is one of the major decision making activities in any company. Given a set of potential projects to invest, a subset which matches the company's strategy and internal resources best has to be selected. In this paper, we propose a multicriteria model for portfolio selection of projects, where we take into consideration that each of the potential projects has several - usually conflicting - values.

Multiple Objective Minimum Cost Flow Problems: A Review
(2005)
- In this paper, theory and algorithms for solving the multiple objective minimum cost flow problem are reviewed. For both the continuous and integer case exact and approximation algorithms are presented. In addition, a section on compromise solutions summarizes corresponding results. The reference list consists of all papers known to the autheors which deal with the multiple objective minimum cost flow problem.

Finding Representative Systems for Discrete Bicriteria Optimization Problems by Box Algorithms
(2005)
- Given a discrete bicriteria optimization problem (DBOP), we propose two versions of an approximation procedure, the box algorithm, which results in a representation of the complete set of nondominated solutions by a finite representative system Rep satisfying the following quality features.
