Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of locating concentrators in a computer communications network where the terminals have varying concentrator coverage. A mathematical programming model is developed. The objective is to minimize communication costs as well as set up and operating costs for the concentrators subject to capacity constraints. A solution procedure which makes use of a relaxation of the problem is presented. Computational results indicate that this solution procedure is very effective.
