Abstract
Network design is a broad topic that has many applications and poses many challenges for the field of combinatorial optimization. The basic issue is to meet the delivery of goods (e.g., people, freight, messages) from sources to destinations by constructing a network of physical links or routes that incur a fixed cost for installation. The links or routes might be capacitated and the network might have special structure. In this presentation I will discuss some combinatorial and integer programming issues and results, with an emphasis on transportation and telecommunications networks.
