Publisher Summary This chapter discusses different types of sequencing and scheduling
problems, and describes different types of algorithms and the concepts of complexity theory …

We review recent advances in dealing with the resource-constrained project scheduling
problem using an efficient depth-first branch-and-bound procedure, elaborating on the …

Project scheduling is concerned with single-item or small batch production where scarce
resources have to be allocated to dependent activities over time. Applications can be found …

A comprehensive guide to a powerful new analytical tool by two of its foremost innovators
The past decade has witnessed many exciting advances in the use of genetic algorithms …

Project controls have traditionally been focused on after-the-fact detection of variances. This
thesis proposes a control system, the Last Planner system, that causes the realization of …

In diesem Buch finden Sie die Brücke zwischen klassischem Operations Research und den
modernen Gebieten der Heuristik und der Theorie unscharfer Mengen. Klassische und …

We present a set of benchmark instances for the evaluation of solution procedures for single-
and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems. The instances have …

We consider the so-called parallel and serial scheduling method for the classical resource-
constrained project scheduling problem. Theoretical results on the class of schedules …

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) can be given as follows. A
single project consists of a set J={0, 1,…, n, n+ 1} of activities which have to be processed …

This paper addresses the issue of how to generate problem instances of controlled difficulty.
It focuses on precedence-and resource-constrained (project) scheduling problems, but …
