Resource-constrained project scheduling is an NPhard optimisation problem. There are many different heuristic strategies how to shift activities in time when resource requirements exceed their available amounts. These strategies are frequently based on priorities of activities. In this paper, we assume that a suitable heuristic has been chosen to decide which activities should be performed imme...

Commonly used scheduling algorithms in high-level synthesis are not capable of sharing resources across process boundaries. This results in the usage of at least one resource per operation type and process. A new method is proposed in order to overcome these restrictions and to share high-cost or limited resources within a process group. This allows the use of less than one resource per operati...

This paper focuses on estimating maximum resource loads in ResourceConstrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). We examine a variant of vector sum problem with fractions: considering preemptions allowed, determine what part of each of n jobs should be accomplished in order to minimize sum of squares of non-consumed amounts of resources, taking into account the resource constraints along with...

Conservation of resources such as bandwidth, energy and memory are of a concern in Resource Constrained Networks (RCNs). Wireless mobile devices, especially low cost devices are stifled by the limited resources such as battery power, screen size, input, memory and processors. The low cost wireless mobile devices penetrating the developing world market demand for a cost effective messaging forma...
