In this paper, a revised LACN-WAN interconnection model is presented as an extension to the conventional Capacitated Concentrator Location Problem (CCLP). An efficient heuristic is also developed to seek near-optimal deployment of telecommunication devices (e.g. links, concentrators, etc.) while minimizing the total connection costs for the network interconnection. Our solution algorithm could serve as a decision-making tool in solving problems with a real world size (i.e. 120 nodes and 30 concentrators).10aBIS1 aHan, Bernard, T.1 aRaja, V.T.  u/biblio/grasp-heuristic-solving-extended-capacitated-concentrator-location-problem-000502nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007800041210006900119260003700188653000800225100001500233700002100248856011100269       1999                        eng d00aA Comparison of Two Modern Heuristics for Designing Local Access Networks0 aComparison of Two Modern Heuristics for Designing Local Access N  aPhiladelphia, Pennsylvaniac199910aBIS1 aRaja, V.T.1 aHan, Bernard, T.  u/biblio/comparison-two-modern-heuristics-designing-local-access-networks-000495nas a2200121   4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260002200192653000800214100001500222700002100237856011500258       1998                        eng d00aAn AI-based Heuristic for solving a Generalized Concentrator Location Problem0 aAIbased Heuristic for solving a Generalized Concentrator Locatio  aSeattle, WAc199810aBIS1 aRaja, V.T.1 aHan, Bernard, T.  u/biblio/ai-based-heuristic-solving-generalized-concentrator-location-problem-000490nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007400041210006900115260003000184653000800214100001500222700002100237856011000258       1998                        eng d00aA Neural-Net Gaussian Machine for Optimal Local Access Network Design0 aNeuralNet Gaussian Machine for Optimal Local Access Network Desi  aBaltimore, Marylandc199810aBIS1 aRaja, V.T.1 aHan, Bernard, T.  u/biblio/neural-net-gaussian-machine-optimal-local-access-network-design-100448nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006200041210006200103260001700165653000800182100001500190700002100205856010000226       1997                        eng d00aSome Design and Planning Issues for Local Access Networks0 aSome Design and Planning Issues for Local Access Networks  aTaiwanc199710aBIS1 aRaja, V.T.1 aHan, Bernard, T.  u/biblio/some-design-and-planning-issues-local-access-networks-000598nas a2200133   4500008004100000245013200041210006900173260003000242653000800272100001500280700002100295700002000316856012800336       1995                        eng d00aA Robustness Approach to the Telecommunication Facility Management Problem in the Presence of Demand Uncertainty from End-Users0 aRobustness Approach to the Telecommunication Facility Management  aBoca Raton, Floridac199510aBIS1 aRaja, V.T.1 aHan, Bernard, T.1 aChen, Bin, Tong  u/biblio/robustness-approach-telecommunication-facility-management-problem-presence-demand-0
