Optimization of airport processes: Support system for human decision making in total airport management

This paper describes a planning and optimizing system (TOP), generating sample airport operations plans (AOP) - the foundation for common decision making (CDM) process. Diverse `state-of-the-art' algorithms of optimization combined on two levels of abstraction made it possible to provide the human decision makers with reliable and possible best solutions of operations planning satisfying requested preferences subject to predefined or negotiated constraints and objectives, given the continually changing input data.
