- Description: Facility location problems are one of the most common applications of optimization methods. Continuous formulations are usually more accurate, but often result in complex problems that cannot be solved using traditional optimization methods. This paper examines the use of a global optimization method - AGOP - for solving location problems where the objective function is discontinuous. This approach is motivated by a real-world application in wireless networks design. © Australian Mathematical Society 2007.

- Description: When designing wireless communication systems, it is very important to know the optimum numbers of access points (APs) in order to provide a reliable design. In this paper we describe a mathematical model developed for finding the optimal number and location of APs. A new Global Optimization Algorithm (AGOP) is used to solve the problem. Results obtained demonstrate that the model and software are able to solve optimal coverage problems for design areas with different types of obstacles and number of users.
