This chapter presents a new concept called learning objective for an e-learning instructional model that combines objectivist and constructivist learning theories. A learning objective is composed of learning objects, a concept inherited from the object-oriented paradigm, which permit to reuse educational content across different e-courses that are accessible over the Internet. The instructiona...

Solving real-world multi-objective optimization problems using Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithms becomes difficult when the number of objectives is high since types algorithms generally used to solve these are based on concept non-dominance, which ceases work as grows. This problem known curse dimensionality. Simultaneously, existence many objectives, a characteristic practical problems, ...

In this paper, we study the well-known team orienteering problem where a fleet of robots collects rewards by visiting locations. Usually, are assumed to be known robots; however, in applications such as environmental monitoring or scene reconstruction, often subjective and specifying them is challenging. We propose framework learn unknown preferences user presenting alternative solutions them, ...
