Kohonen maps for solving a class of location-allocation problems

Article Abstract:

Artificial neural networks may be applied in operations research problems in the same manner as Kohonen maps are used in solving location-allocation issues. Location-allocation (LA) problems may be found in public services, telecommunications and distribution. LA problems occur when more than one outlet need to be located and the corresponding allocation for the outlet to serve customers' demands are not known. Kohonen maps are two-layered networks where every output unit links with every input unit, may be synonymous to clustering methods.

A neural network approach to the vessel dispatching problem

Article Abstract:

A neural network strategy was created to resolve problems associated with vessel dispatchment. The neural network can resolve specific problems at the shortest possible time since it has an ability to simulate the decision making process of a dispatcher. It is also capable of learning from collected dispatcher's decisions through modification of connection strengths.
