Recent studies have extensively discussed the integration of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in existing energy systems to achieve net-zero emissions. India recently initiated a carbon dioxide-based enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) project in the matured oil wells of western...

Hub-and-spoke systems have wide applications ranging in airline transportation, freight transportation, urban traffic, postal delivery, telecommunications and distribution in supply chains. These systems are usually characterized by stochastic demand and congestion, which adversely affect the...

The advent of Just-in-Time (JIT) and Group Technology philosophies has popularized U- shaped assembly lines, which help overcome many of the disadvantages, like line inflexibility, job monotony, large inventories, etc., typically associated with straight assembly lines. Al- though U-shaped...

The bandwidth packing problem seeks to select and route a set of calls from a given list, each with a pre-specified requirement for bandwidth, on an undirected communication network such that the revenue generated is maximized. In this paper, we present a model and an exact solution approach for...

We consider a class of location-allocation problems with immobile servers, stochastic demand and congestion that arises in several planning contexts: location of emergency medical clinics; preventive healthcare centers; refuse collection and disposal centers; stores and service centers; bank...

We study a duopoly market in which customers are heterogeneous in their sensitivity to price and leadtime, and can be segmented as price sensitive or time sensitive. Each firm tailors (differentiates) its products/services for the two customer classes solely based on price and the corresponding...

We study a firm selling two products/services, which are differentiated solely in their prices and delivery times, to two different customer segments in a capacitated environment. From a demand perspective, when both products are available to all customers, they act as substitutes, affecting...

We consider a service system that serves one class of customers, which is willing to pay a premium for a faster delivery, with priority over the other class, which is more price sensitive but is willing to wait longer. The demand from one class depends not only on the price and delivery time...

We study the problem of locating Emergency Medical Service (EMS) facilities in the presence of service level constraints for patients with acuity levels ranging from resuscitation to non-urgent. Each patient arriving at any EMS facility is triaged as either resuscitation/high priority or less...
