Online heuristic for the Multi-Objective Generalized traveling salesman problem

Today's manufacturing systems are typically complex cyber-physical systems where the physical and control aspects interact with the scheduling decisions. Optimizing such facilities requires ordering jobs and configuring the manufacturing system for each job. This optimization problem can be described as a Multi-Objective Generalized TSP where conflicting objectives lead to a trade-off space. This is the first work to address this TSP variant, introducing a compositional heuristic suitable to online application.
