Abstract

We consider a fault tolerance version of the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem with User Preferences. As a consequence, our problem, which we wish to name the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem with user preferences and q-level of reliability (q-level UFLPP), is much more difficult to solve. A computational study shows the advantages and difficulties of this approach.
