Abstract |
The internet network design model in this study considers the location of access points, the installation of wire, and the augmentation of signal over the constructed network in such a way that the total cost is minimized. The model is formulated as a mixed integer programming. The formulation is an arc-based capacitated multi-commodity network design problem with distant constraints and the location of access points at nodes. To efficiently solve this model, an algorithm is developed and experimented using meta-heuristic Harmony Search. The results show that the algorithm can solve large size instances to near optimality within a short period of time. A detailed study is also conducted on harmony search parameters to observe the impact on the overall algorithmic performance.
