For each point, its position, the size of its label and a priority are given. Moreover, several candidates of its label positions are prespecified, and each of such label positions is assigned a priority. The objective of our problem is to maximize the total sum of priorities of placed labels and their points. By refining a labeling algorithm that can use these priorities, we propose a new heuristic algorithm which is more suitable for treating the assigned priorities. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {5}, year = {2014}, pages = {802 - 805}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998264}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/89}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 89, 2014}, }
