In this paper, we propose a new model for the search and rescue problem. We focus on the case of a single airborne search asset through a connected space and continuous time with a maximum travel time <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$T$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>T</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>.

Purpose: Ambulance response time is an important factor in saving lives and is highly linked with the ambulance location problem. The Maximum Expected Covering Location Problem (MEXCLP), introduced by Daskin (1983), is one of the most used ambulance location models that maximize the probability...

Purpose: The rapid increase in higher education institutions (HEIs) can affect the provision of quality education especially when there are no clear integrated objectives to serve the overall HEI as well as the lack of management related to human resource needs. The quality of HEIs relies on...

This paper solves the multiobjective stochastic linear program with partially known probability. We address the case where the probability distribution is defined by crisp inequalities. We propose a chance constrained approach and a compromise programming approach to transform the multiobjective...
