A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity • Introduction • Set Covering • Network Connectivity • Model Formulation • Case Study • Conclusion • Future Works
A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity • One of the classical objectives in location modeling is “coverage”. • In many optimization problems in networking ,connectivity is a main requirement.
A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity • Both of these two models have been studied a lot separately, but the studies which consider these two together are rare. • Goal: Minimizing the total Cost ,subject to two main constraints • covering and connectivity.
A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity • The problem of locating sensors to minimize the total cost with covering demands points by using sensors while all sensors are connected to each other is considered. • where to put sensors • Each demand point is covered by which sensor • How sensors are connected to each other

A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity SET COVERING • Ensure that each customer considered to be “served” by a set of facilities has a facility within reasonable travel distance. • Introduced by Church and ReVelle(1974) • Many applications such as location of emergency services, the location of retail facilities and signal-transmission facilities (cell-phone towers, light standards, etc.)
A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity NETWOK CONNECTIVITY • several optimization problems with many applications, in which the network connectivity is a requirement. • One of those problems is the minimum cost spanning tree problem. The goal is to find a minimum cost connected subgraph of a network • spanning tree of the graph is a connected subgraph in which there are no cycles

A model for combination of set covering and network connectivity CHANGING CONTINUOUS REGION TO DISCRETE • feasible region for sitting sensors is continuous • We define the potential nodes as nodes belonging to the network intersect point set .Any point on the network that is r distance away from demand point i∈ N is a NIP. The NIPS is the set of all NIPs plus all demand points.
