A hybrid scatter search/electromagnetism meta-heuristic for project scheduling
In the last few decades, several effective algorithms for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem have been proposed. However, the challenging nature of this problem, summarised in its strongly NP-hard status, restricts the effectiveness of exact optimisation to relatively small instances. In this paper, we present a new meta-heuristic for this problem, able to provide near-...
متن کاملProject scheduling optimization for contractor’s Net present value maximization using meta-heuristic algorithms: A case study
Today's competitive conditions have caused the projects to be carried out in the least possible time with limited resources. Therefore, managing and scheduling a project is a necessity for the project. The timing of a project is to specify a sequence of times for a series of related activities. According to their priority and their latency, so that between the time the project is completed and ...
متن کاملan efficient meta-heuristic algorithm for project scheduling with multiple modes
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...
متن کاملResource Constrained Project Scheduling with Material Ordering: Two Hybridized Meta-Heuristic Approaches (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is mainly investigated with the objective of either minimizing project makespan or maximizing project net present value. However, when material planning plays a key role in a project, the existing models cannot help determining material ordering plans to minimize material costs. In this paper, the RCPSP incorporated with the material order...
متن کاملHybrid Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Task Assignment Problem
Task assignment problem (TAP) involves assigning a number of tasks to a number of processors in distributed computing systems and its objective is to minimize the sum of the total execution and communication costs, subject to all of the resource constraints. TAP is a combinatorial optimization problem and NP-complete. This paper proposes a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving TAP in a ...
