Claim One:
1. A computer product for facilities optimization comprising a medium readable by a computer, the medium having a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon executable by a processor when loaded into main memory, the instructions including: simulating a physical phenomenon of charged particle interaction, thereby producing a charged particle interaction simulation; assigning a first charge of first charge type particles to users of service supplying facilities; assigning a second charge of second charge type particles to the service supplying facilities; disposing a first plurality of the user particles and a second plurality of the facility particles in an initial configuration within the simulation; constraining a first of the first and second pluralities of particles to their initial configuration; allowing a second of the first and second pluralities of particles to move, said second of the first and second pluralities of particles finding an equilibrium state with respect to the first of the first and second pluralities of particles; and iteratively performing the previous steps while varying first plurality and second plurality of particles, the iterative performance of the simulation settling into an optimum location and number of supply points associated with the facility particles with respect to demand points associated with the user particles.
