the development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (clsc) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. however, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design and the complex interactions among various uncertain parameters are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. the aim of this paper, therefore, is to propose a n...

Effective utility system management is fundamental and critical for ensuring the normal activities, operations, services in cities urban areas. In that regard, advanced information communication technologies underpinning smart enable close linkages coordination of different subutility systems, which now attracting research attention. To increase operational efficiency, we propose a two-stage op...
