Abstract

Service systems and their designing represent a very important field, in which the operations researchers and other specialists in optimization and Informatics find their irreplaceable application role. Situation becomes more serious in such cases, where money is not the crucial quality criterion. The family of systems studied in this paper consists of systems, in which the decisions affect human health or even life. Obviously, the key role in the decision-making process is played by the application of advanced location science. The main goal of this research paper is to provide the readers with a short spectrum of basic mathematical models and their comparison. The emphasis is put on scenario-based optimization, which takes into account different conditions in the network, through which the service is provided. Theoretical explanation of suggested methods is accompanied with the computational study performed with real-sized instances.
