The ideas in this chapter were developed on the some twenty years’ long collaboration of the Hungarian and Italian research teams. In Budapest, this work was partially supported by European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM), by the European Union in the frame of the FOKSai project, and by the Hungarian State Eötvös Scholarship.
In Genova, this work was mainly established within the Centro Italiano di Eccellenza per la Logistica Integrata (CIELI), funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, MIUR, in Genova, along multi-disciplinary tracks, with partners in the business, engineering, and law schools.
