Abstract The Order Acceptance and Scheduling (OAS) problem describes a class of real-
world problems such as in smart manufacturing and satellite scheduling. This problem …

Tourism activities are typically group-oriented, and the preferences and goals of group
members may completely differ or even conflict with one another. Considering the limitations …

The scheduling problem of an Agile Earth Observation Satellite is to schedule a subset of
weighted observation tasks with each a specific “profit” in order to maximize the total …

This paper introduces and solves the joint maintenance and orienteering problem with an
application to offshore wind farms. The quest for sustainable energy production is fueling the …

This paper addresses the time dependent orienteering problem with time windows and
service time dependent profits (TDOPTW-STP). In the TDOPTW-STP, each vertex is …

Improving the travel experience is a goal of tourist destinations. Tourists demand information
and services that help plan and organise the trips adapted to their preferences and …

In intelligent manufacturing, it is important to schedule orders from customers efficiently.
Make-to-order companies may have to reject or postpone orders when the production …

In this paper, MASA (Modified A* Algorithm) method is introduced which can merge
numerous factors with different weights into a multi-weighted graph to offer the most optimal …

This paper introduces an enhanced meta-heuristic (ML-ACO) that combines machine
learning (ML) and ant colony optimization (ACO) to solve combinatorial optimization …

The scheduling of agile Earth observation satellites is to select a subset of candidate targets
each associated with a profit during their visible time windows in order to maximize the …
