This study investigates the feasibility of large-scale distributed networks. The core focus of our research is the impact of multi-hop communication on point...

Integer (linear) programs are a standard way of formalizing a vast array of optimization problems in industry, services, management, science, and technology....

Population growth and city sprawl have been driving increasing amounts of traffic congestion in multiple major cities worldwide. In this scenario, developing...

Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) are challenged by spectrum fragmentation, which can obstruct the establishment of new connections. While the concept of fragm...

This paper addresses the limitations of current satellite payload architectures, which are predominantly hardware-driven and lack the flexibility to adapt to...

This paper tackles a complex variant of the unit commitment (UC) problem at Hydro-Quebec, referred to as the transient stability constrained unit commitmen...

Transit authorities are rapidly replacing conventional buses with electric ones because of the increasing concerns about air quality, greenhouse gas emission...

The Thirteenth Montreal IPSW took place on August 21-25, 2023, and was jointly organized by the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and the Institute ...

Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) with deadlines have received significant attention around the world. Motivated by a real-world food delivery problem, we assu...

This paper describes a planning problem faced by a fast-growing petroleum company in West Africa. The problem is a complex variant of the petrol station repl...

The truck loading and inventory routing problems are the two most important decisions made by companies replenishing petrol stations. This paper investigates...

Bus scheduling in public transit consists in determining a set of bus schedules to cover a set of timetabled trips at minimum cost. This planning process has...

Monte Carlo (MC) is widely used for the simulation of discrete time Markov chains. We consider the case of a \(d\)-dimensional continuous state space and w...

Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) methods provide unbiased estimators whose variance often converges at a faster rate than standard Monte Carlo as a functi...

We consider the set of graphs that can be constructed from a one-vertex graph by repeatedly adding a clique or a stable set linked to all or none of the vert...

Classical mean field games (MFG) have been concerned with large games amongst symmetrically influential agents with asymptotically negligible weight. In th...

We review the development of the concept of effective bandwidth from its origin in the planning and management of ATM networks. We start with the extension...

Benders decomposition has been applied significantly to tackle large-scale optimization problems with complicating variables, which, when temporarily fixed, ...

Operations research specialists at the OCP Group, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, and the Polytechnique Montreal operationalized a system optimizing ...

Tactical wireless networks are used in cases where standard telecommunication networks are unavailable or unusable, e.g. disaster relief operations. We fully...
