点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Many of the day-to-day activities of people and organizations require planning and scheduling: deciding what actions to do to achieve a set of goals and deciding when actions should be done and with what resources. A daily commute might consist of deciding the latest time one can leave home to arrive in time for an important meeting while taking into account different ways to travel (bike, car, public transit), the time each one will take, and the interaction with other goals (e.g., if I drive I won't be able to have a drink with colleagues after work). As another example, a company such as Amazon must use labour, warehouse space, trucks, and fuel to coordinate the reception, storage, order-taking, packing, and delivery of goods.
