  • Patent number: 7006903
    Abstract: Methods and systems for routing and scheduling maintenance for aircraft. An aircraft routing and maintenance scheduling system generates an aircraft routing proposal based on information describing a possible flight of an aircraft and a maintenance scheduling proposal that corresponds to the aircraft based on information describing a possible maintenance schedule of the aircraft. The system determines a proposed flight assignment and proposed maintenance scheduling assignment based on the aircraft routing proposal and maintenance scheduling proposal. Thereafter, the system produces a flight assignment plan and maintenance scheduling plan using the proposed flight assignment and proposed maintenance scheduling assignment when the proposed flight assignment and proposed maintenance scheduling assignment meet a decision criterion describing requirements for aircraft routing and maintenance scheduling.

  • Publication number: 20040078213
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for providing information relating to a plurality of packages of components, such as travel components, are provided. Typically, a plurality of candidate packages are dynamically generated in response to and in compliance with a request, such as from a consumer. To increase the options from which a consumer selects, the candidate packages that are selected, such as for display to a customer, may be evaluated based upon a diversity criteria relating to the variety of components included within the candidate packages that have been selected. Several different subsets of the candidate packages may be selected based upon an evaluation of the candidate packages in accordance with different respective value measures, such as price, relationship to the request and upgrade status.
