Question ID: 511016
Satellites have been commonly used in image taking purpose.  How to
optimize satellite route planning (prioritizing and scheduling both
fixed and random tasks) by using zero-one quadratic programing and
genetic algorithm? Please describe and summarize pros and cons of
"zero-one quadratic programing" and "genetic algorithm".  How do they
work together?

I may be able to answer your question, depending on the level of
detail you require. How long should the answer be and how technical
should it get?

Dear leapinglizard-ga,
I would expect 7 to 8 pages of written works.  The content has to
include  mathematical principles and the detailed explanation in plain
english.  In the part "how they work together", I would like to see
pseudo codes of schedule. Thank you.

I believe that the amount of effort and expertise it would take to
answer this question justify a much higher price than you currently
offer. If you find after some time that no other Researcher has
expressed an interest in your question, you may wish to substantially
raise your price.

leapinglizard-ga,

what if I change the requirement to 3 or four pages of analysis works?
It will only cover the explanation of zero-one quadratic programming
and genetic algorithm and the explanation of how they work together. 
Or, if you do not think it is worth your effort, could you tell me
what 75 dollars can cover? Thank you.

At 250 words per page, I call that 750 to 1000 words, which is a more
reasonable length. The topic is still a tall order, though: zero-one
quadratic programming combined with genetic algorithms in application
to route planning. This requires some original thought. As for
pseudocode, you can only expect something very high-level rather than
an algorithmic description that the reader can immediately implement.
Is this urgent?

IT is urgent to me. I really need the method to develop the code. will
you be able to help?

Wait a minute. You actually have to implement this thing? I was under
the impression that you were just preparing a survey on the topic.

If you need to code up an algorithm, you should be more specific about
the parameters. What does a problem instance look like? In other
words, what is the input and what do you expect as output?

Sorry for the confusion. I like to see both the survey and psuedocode.
 The survey of topic can be as brief as two pages, including how to
combine "zero-one quadratic programming" and "genetic algorithm" as
well as the definition of both methods.

The program I tried to write includes input "target data" with attributes 
"task id", "effected start time", "effected end time", "preferred
start time", "preferred end time", "task priority score", and
"duration of tasks" = 5 secs. The output will be the entire schedule.
