Decision making - with the goal of finding the optimal solution - is an important part of modern life. For example: In the control room of an airport, the goals or objectives are to minimise the risk of airplanes colliding, minimise the time that a plane has to wait for take-off or landing and maximise the utilisation of all landing strokes. In order to make the best decision, you need the optimal solution(s) for the problem that you are trying to solve
