    • Algorithms for evaluation and design of reliable networks 

      Sharma, Megha (2010)
      A reliable network is a network in which network elements, i.e., arcs and/or nodes, are functional only with a pre-specified probability. Such networks are used to model real-life networks such as telecommunication networks ...

    • Coordination in sharing economy: a study of ride-hailing platforms 

      Joshi, Harit (Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2020)
      Recent years have witnessed an emergence of sharing economy, defined as an economic system in which assets or services are shared between private individuals. Ride-hailing has emerged as a key area of sharing based business ...

    • Efficient tabu search implementations for asymmetric traveling salesman problems 

      Basu, Sumanta (2009)
      Combinatorial optimization problems are widely used to model various managerial problems including scheduling, location, routing etc. Many of these problems are known to be NP-hard. Therefore, heuristics and metaheuristics ...
