Một số khái niệm thường được sử dụng trong bài toán load-out

Load-out là bài toán khá quen thuộc với ACE công tác trong lĩnh vực CTB-DK, tuy nhiên những khái niệm thường được sử dụng trong bài toán này thì có nhiều từ khá lạ và mới, topic mong muốn sẽ cung cấp thêm cho ACE một vài thông tin về các khái niệm:
