(SAGE Publications, 2018)Most deterministic optimization models use average values of nondeterministic variables as their inputs. It is, therefore, expected that a model that can accept the distribution of a random variable, while this may involve ...
-
(Natural Sciences Publishing, 2018-09)The Classical Transportation Problem (TP) Tableau which utilizes continuous variable cost has been used to model and solve distribution problems. However, many real distribution problem decisions which require various ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Social media platforms allow billions of individuals to share their thoughts, likes and dislikes in real-time, without any censorship. This freedom, however, comes at a cyber-security risk. Cyber threats are more difficult ...
