Abstract :
In telecommunications network design, one of the key parameter is the set of requirements which in the past, were demands based on historical data and/or demographic predictions. Because of new technologies development and customers movement due to competitiveness, the requirements present considerable uncertainty. We propose a model for network design taking into account this uncertainty, which can be solved using linear programming techniques.
