Facility Location
Facility location is a name given to several different problems in computer science and in game theory: * Facility location problem The study of facility location problems (FLP), also known as location analysis, is a branch of operations research and computational geometry concerned with the optimal placement of facilities to minimize transportation costs while considering fac ..., the optimal placement of facilities as a function of transportation costs and other factors * Facility location (competitive game), in which competitors simultaneously select facility locations and prices, in order to maximize profit * Facility location (cooperative game), with the goal of sharing costs among clients {{SIA ...

Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). Computer science is generally considered an area of academic research and distinct from computer programming. Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Programming language theory considers different ways to describe computational processes, and database theory concerns the management of repositories ...
