A problem of optimal scheduling is considered for a project that consists certain set works to be performed under given constraints on the times start and finish works. As optimality criterion scheduling, maximum deviation time taken minimized. Such problems arise in management when it required, according technological, organizational, economic or other reasons, provide, wherever possible, simu...

The well-known resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) schedules project activities within the precedence and renewable resource constraints while minimizing the total lead-time of the project. The basic problem description assumes non-pre-emptive activities with fixed durations, and has been extended to various other assumptions in literature. In this paper, we investigate the ...

in this paper, a fully informed particle swarm (fips) algorithm is proposed for solving the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (mrcpsp) with minimization of project makespan as the objective subject to resource and precedence constraints. in the proposed fips, a random key and the related mode list (ml) representation scheme are used as encoding schemes and the multi-mod...

Product design has become more and more complex in recent years that requires a lot of people from different disciplines to work synergistically. Usually, a large project is necessary to be divided into various subtasks, as different designers in the colla-borative team have diverse abilities for those separated subtasks. It is very important to allocate specific tasks to those who are good at ...

An Evolutionary algorithm for resource constrained project scheduling (RCPS) problem is proposed with the objective to minimize project duration (makespan). The algorithm is tested with standard data sets given by Kolisch library for J30 and J60 and found to be performing well. General Terms Project Scheduling, Resources.

In this paper we present a unified (probabilistic/possibilistic) model for resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with uncertain activity durations and a concept of a heuristic approach connected to the theoretical model. It is shown that the uncertainty management can be built into any heuristic algorithm developed to solve RCPSP with deterministic activity durations. The esse...
