Uniform service systems with k servers

We consider the problem of k servers situated on a uniform metric space that must serve a sequence of requests, where each request consists of a set of locations of the metric space and can be served by moving a server to any of the nodes of the set. The goal is to minimize the total distance travel...

The goal is to minimize the total distance traveled by the servers. This problem generalizes a problem presented by Chrobak and Larmore in [7].
