Projects


Contracts and Grants with Industry

  • SOGEP - REDCATS (2006-2008)
    The cooperation with SOGEP, the logistic and delivery subsidiary company of REDCARS (PINAULT PRINTEMPS REDOUTE) consists in solving a logistic and transportation problem. The objective here is the design and implementation of a decision aid framework for solving complex vehicle routing problems including different constraints.

  • Mobinets (2004-2006)
    The objective is to model and solve the access network design problem (GSM and UMTS technologies).
