In this paper, we consider the duty scheduling of sensor activities in wireless sensor networks to maximize the lifetime. We address full target coverage problems contemplating sensors used for sensing data and transmit it to the base station through multi-hop communication as well as sensors...

This paper addresses the scheduling of turnaround operations for flights in civil airports. A series of complex issues, including the heterogeneity of flights and operators, resource constraints on turnaround operations, temporal restrictions and alternative service patterns of turnaround...
