Ants can orienteer a thief in their robbery
  The Thief Orienteering Problem (ThOP) is a multi-component problem that
combines features of two classic combinatorial optimization problems:
Orienteering Problem and Knapsack Problem. The ThOP is challenging due to the
given time constraint and the interaction between its components. We propose an
Ant Colony Optimization algorithm together with a new packing heuristic to deal
individually and interactively with problem components. Our approach
outperforms existing work on more than 90% of the benchmarking instances, with
an average improvement of over 300%.
