International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This study tackles the multiple allocation p$p$‐hub location problem (MApHLP) in the context of video‐on‐demand services, where digital content is partitioned into segments and stored exclusively at selected hub locations. Users, distributed across a wide geographical area, can connect to multiple hubs based on demand patterns, with all hubs ...

Heuristic approaches for a new variant of the team orienteering problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we tackle the team orienteering problem (TOP) with service times, mandatory nodes and incompatibilities arising from two real‐world healthcare applications. We propose two heuristic algorithms: a variable neighbourhood descent algorithm and a matheuristic based on a cut separation approach.

Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In Tower Defense (TD) games, the objective is to defend a specific point on the game map from mobile units by constructing towers with offensive capabilities. In this work, we focus on Bloons Tower Defense (Bloons TD), one of the earliest and most prominent TD games.

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 429-459, January 2027.Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3905-3933, November 2026.Abstract One of the most common problems in the expansion of a company consists of deciding the most appropriate locations for their facilities. This decision problem, known as the facility location problem, has been studied from different perspectives, considering a number of different constraints.
