Abstract The Orienteering Problem (OP) has received a lot of attention in the past few
decades. The OP is a routing problem in which the goal is to determine a subset of nodes to …

We study two new informative path planning problems that are motivated by the use of aerial
and ground robots in precision agriculture. The first problem, termed sampling traveling …

The tourist trip design problem (TTDP) refers to a route-planning problem for tourists
interested in visiting multiple points of interest (POIs). TTDP solvers derive daily tourist tours …

Vacation planning is one of the frequent---but nonetheless laborious---tasks that people
