Agent based models (ABM) have been recently applied to solve optimization problems
whose domains present several inter-related components in a distributed and …

This paper surveys single-project, single-objective, deterministic project scheduling
problems in which activities can be processed using a finite or infinite (and uncountable) …

Scheduling problems are combinatorial optimization problems in which some activities have
to be executed using resources that they need. A feasible allocation of the resources to the …

In this paper we present a genetic algorithm for the multi-mode resource-constrained project
scheduling problem (MRCPSP), in which multiple execution modes are available for each of …

Minimizing both project time and cost is an important matter in today's competitive
environment. Therefore trade-off between project time and cost is necessary. In projects …

In this paper, an overview is presented of the existing metaheuristic solution procedures to
solve the multi-mode resource-constrained-project scheduling problem, in which multiple …

Simultaneously running multiple projects are quite common in industries. These projects
require local (always available to the concerned project) and global (shared among the …

This paper reports on a new solution approach for the well-known multi-mode resource-
constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP). This problem type aims at the selection …

In this paper we formulate and analyze the joint problem of project selection and task
scheduling. We study the situation where a manager has many alternative projects to pursue …

We consider a multi-project scheduling problem, where each project is composed of a set of
activities, with precedence relations, requiring specific amounts of local and shared (among …
