Sightseeing Route Planning

Route planning is a challenging task because it is a combination of theoretically well-defined computational problems on one side, and everyday-life decisions and constraints on the other side. This paper presents an approach to sightseeing route planning using theory of computation. In particular, in this paper we discuss the combination of two well-known computational problems: knapsack and t...

Personalized Sightseeing Tours Support Using Mobile Devices
