We consider capacity expansion of a telecommunications network in the face of uncertain future demand and potential future failures of network components. The problem is formulated as a bicriteria stochastic program with recourse in which the total cost of the capacity expansion and the...

The present paper proposes a mathematical model and a solution approach to the Stochastic Capacity Planning and Dynamic Network Design Problem. Here, strategic decisions usually comprise developing the necessary capacity — through either incrementing capacity on existing assets (facilities or...
