EECS Colloquium
Abstract
Annually, the U.S. telecommunication industry invests over $40 billion
in new facilities, much of this in improving and upgrading network
infrastructure. The design criteria and design alternatives for these
investments vary widely but include such issues as network
survivability, network restoration, and choice between alternative
transmission technologies as well as the sizing and location of
switches, multiplexers, and other facilities.
These designs pose combinatorially complex, large scale optimization
problems: some have millions of variables and constraints. The
colloquium will introduce several such contemporary network design
problems and summarize approaches for solving them.
