The integration of applications (application-toapplication integration, A2AI) within an enterprise has the advantage that the applications to be integrated are within one enterprise, hence, within one domain of control. Consequently hub-and-spoke architectures are deployed that provide a common infrastructure for integration, namely, the exchange of data between applications. The applications d...

Abstract: Hub location problem is one of the most important problems in the areas of logistics and telecommunication network design. In this paper, we address the single allocation maximal covering hub location problem in which the objective is to maximise the amount of covered flows associated with origin-destination pairs in a hub-and-spoke network using a fixed number of hub facilities. Two ...

in this paper we present the problem of designing a three level hub center network. in our network, the top level consists of a complete network where a direct link is between all central hubs.  the second and third levels consist of star networks that connect the hubs to central hubs and the demand nodes to hubs and thus to central hubs, respectively. we model this problem in an incomplete net...
