Preemptive and Non-Preemptive Generalized Min Sum Set Cover

In the (non-preemptive) Generalized Min Sum Set Cover Problem, we are given n ground elements and a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ..., Sm} where each set Si ∈ 2 has a positive requirement κ(Si) that has to be fulfilled. We would like to order all elements to minimize the total (weighted) cover time of all sets. The cover time of a set Si is defined as the first index j in the ordering such th...

Linear programming based algorithms for preemptive and non-preemptive RCPSP

In this paper, the RCPSP (Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem) is solved using a linear programming model. Each activity may or may not be preemptive. Each variable is associated to a subset of independent activities (antichains). The properties of the model are first investigated. In particular, conditions are given that allow a solution of the linear program to be a feasible sched...

Coordination in Global Software Development - Challenges, associated threats, and mitigating practices

Context: Global Software Development (GSD) is an emerging trend in today " s software world in which teams are geographically dispersed, either in close proximity or globally. GSD provides certain advantages to development companies like low development cost, access to cheap and skilled labour etc. This type of development is noted as a more risky and challenging as compared to projects develop...
