This paper describes a general hybrid metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization labelled
Construct, Merge, Solve & Adapt. The proposed algorithm is a specific instantiation of a …

Several studies exhibit that the traffic load of the routers only has a small influence on their
energy consumption. Hence, the power consumption in networks is strongly related to the …

Over the last decades, so-called hybrid optimization approaches have become increasingly
popular for addressing hard optimization problems. In fact, when looking at leading …

One of the most interesting recent trends for what concerns research on metaheuristics is
their hybridization with other techniques for optimization. In fact, the focus of research on …

Network Slicing (NS) is the inherent concept of the 5G network and beyond, ensuring
dynamic and flexible use of resources, considered also a fundamental enabler of the …

The ever-increasing need for stable, seamless, high-speed connectivity places an enormous
burden on the communications infrastructure, comprised of access, backhaul, and core …

In this paper, we propose a chance-constrained mathematical program for fixed broadband
wireless networks under unreliable channel conditions. The model is reformulated as an …

In this paper, we extend our former investigation on conceiving reliable fixed point-to-point
wireless networks under outage probability constraints. We consider the problem of …

The combinatorial optimization problem tackled in this work is from the family of minimum
weight rooted arborescence problems. The problem is NP-hard and has applications, for …

Technological breakthroughs have transformed the telecommunications industry aiming at
providing capacity and efficiency to support the increasing demand for wireless broadband …
