In this paper, a revised LACN-WAN interconnection model is presented as an extension to the conventional Capacitated Concentrator Location Problem (CCLP). An efficient heuristic is also developed to seek near-optimal deployment of telecommunication devices (e.g. links, concentrators, etc.) while minimizing the total connection costs for the network interconnection. Our solution algorithm could serve as a decision-making tool in solving problems with a real world size (i.e. 120 nodes and 30 concentrators).}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Han ,Bernard T. and Raja,V.T.} } @article {1982726, title = {A Comparison of Two Modern Heuristics for Designing Local Access Networks}, year = {1999}, month = {1999}, address = {Philadelphia, Pennsylvania}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Raja,V.T. and Han ,Bernard T.} } @article {1982736, title = {An AI-based Heuristic for solving a Generalized Concentrator Location Problem}, year = {1998}, month = {1998}, address = {Seattle, WA}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Raja,V.T. and Han ,Bernard T.} } @article {1982746, title = {A Neural-Net Gaussian Machine for Optimal Local Access Network Design}, year = {1998}, month = {1998}, address = {Baltimore, Maryland}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Raja,V.T. and Han ,Bernard T.} } @article {1982761, title = {Some Design and Planning Issues for Local Access Networks}, year = {1997}, month = {1997}, address = {Taiwan}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Raja,V.T. and Han ,Bernard T.} } @article {1982776, title = {A Robustness Approach to the Telecommunication Facility Management Problem in the Presence of Demand Uncertainty from End-Users}, year = {1995}, month = {1995}, address = {Boca Raton, Florida}, keywords = {BIS}, author = {Raja,V.T. and Han ,Bernard T. and Chen,Bin Tong} }
