Projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. An integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.Two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), are presented to solve the problem. Results of cal...
