My name is Mario Guzzi, and I have been accepted to present a technical paper at AGIFORS 2026 in Dubai (April 7–9, 2026). The presentation focuses on experimental results from prototype Quantum Annealing solvers applied to airline crew planning problems. The conference agenda, including the scheduled presentation slot, is available here: https://www.agifors.org/Crew-SG-2026-agenda
My work in airline crew optimization spans several decades, beginning
with early preferential bidding and crew management systems and
continuing through large-scale implementations and operational support
for major carriers. In recent years, I have focused on advanced
optimization methods that integrate artificial intelligence with
emerging computational paradigms. Since 2019, I have
developed experimental solver prototypes exploring how Quantum
Annealing techniques may contribute to solving
complex crew scheduling challenges.
This line of research was developed in collaboration with
a close colleague and co-founder whose passing in 2023 led
to a pause in the project’s momentum. Presenting at AGIFORS
(Airline Group of the International Federation of Operational
Research Societies) 2026 represents an opportunity to honour
that work, share the progress made, and re-engage in open professional
dialogue around its future direction.
While this AGIFORS presentation focuses specifically on Quantum Annealing results, it forms part of a broader ongoing exploration that also includes AI-driven modeling and decision support. Technical documentation and examples of this work are available at: https://q-zee.github.io/
Contributions will be used to offset conference registration and travel-related expenses associated with presenting this work.
If you would like to contribute toward making this presentation possible, your support is sincerely appreciated. Sharing the page with others who may be interested is also welcome.
En français:
Je m’appelle Mario Guzzi et j’ai été accepté pour présenter un article technique à AGIFORS 2026 à Dubaï (7–9 avril 2026). Cette présentation porte sur des résultats expérimentaux issus de prototypes utilisant le Recuit Quantique (Quantum Annealing) pour la résolution de problèmes de planification des équipages aériens. L’ordre du jour de la conférence, incluant l’horaire prévu pour la présentation, est disponible ici : https://www.agifors.org/Crew-SG-2026-agenda.
Mon parcours dans l’optimisation des équipages s’étend sur plusieurs décennies, depuis les premiers systèmes d’attribution préférentielle et de gestion des équipages jusqu’à des déploiements à grande échelle et au soutien opérationnel auprès de transporteurs majeurs. Au cours des dernières années, je me suis concentré sur des méthodes d’optimisation avancées intégrant l’intelligence artificielle et de nouveaux paradigmes computationnels. Depuis 2019, je développe des prototypes expérimentaux de solveurs explorant comment les techniques de Recuit Quantique pourraient contribuer à résoudre des défis complexes en planification des équipages.
Cette ligne de recherche a été développée en collaboration avec un collègue proche et cofondateur dont le décès en 2023 a entraîné une pause dans l’élan du projet. Présenter à AGIFORS (Airline Group of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies) 2026 représente une occasion d’honorer ce travail, de partager les progrès réalisés et de relancer un dialogue professionnel ouvert sur son orientation future.
Bien que cette présentation à AGIFORS porte spécifiquement sur les résultats liés au Recuit Quantique, elle s’inscrit dans une exploration plus large qui inclut également la modélisation et l’aide à la décision fondées sur l’intelligence artificielle. La documentation technique et des exemples de ce travail sont disponibles à l’adresse suivante : https://q-zee.github.io/
Les contributions serviront à couvrir les frais d’inscription à la conférence ainsi que les dépenses de déplacement liées à la présentation de ces travaux.
Si vous souhaitez contribuer à rendre cette présentation possible, votre soutien est sincèrement apprécié. Le partage de cette page auprès de personnes susceptibles d’être intéressées est également bienvenu.
