Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Optimizing Multi-project Linear Scheduling with Multiple Resource Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper integrates multi-project scheduling and linear scheduling concepts. Since the problem is combinatorial, a two-stage heuristic solution-finding procedure is used to model the problem with multiple resource constraints. Simulated annealing is utilized as a searching engine in the second stage to find the probable optimized solution. The first stage is slightly different from the other two-stage solution finding procedures which are proposed till now. A numerical example of a multi-project situation is given and solved as well.

Abstract: This paper presents an exact model and a genetic algorithm for the multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations in which the duration of an activity is determined by the mode selection and the duration reduction (crashing) applied within the selected mode. All resources considered are renewable. The objective is to determine a mode, ...
