Robust Preemptive Resource Assignment for Multiple Software Projects Using Parameter Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Project preemption allows resources flow passively from one project or task to another. Due to high-cost and high-risk characteristics of software development, project preemption might have a significant impact on the ultimate completion time of a software project. This article examines the feasibility of the Taguchi’s parameter design to achieve robust resource assignment for multiple software projects with different preemptive rules. Two examples of software projects is employed to demonstrate the design process of the parameter design applying in the project scheduling problems. The first project illustrates a preemptive single software project. Project preemption occurs when resource vacations are considered. The second example considers problems of preemptive multiple project scheduling. The parameter design with preemption rules and scheduling heuristics are employed to solve the problem. The results show that the parameter design can achieve robust resource assignment by minimizing the effect of task variation.

Design of Cellular Manufacturing System involves four major decisions: Cell formation (CF), Group layout (GL), Group scheduling (Gs) and Resource assignment (RA). These problems should be regarded, concurrently, in order to obtain an optimal solution in a CM environment. In this paper a two stage heuristic procedure is proposed for CF and RA decisions problem. The solution approach contains a ...

In this paper a novel modelling and solving method has been developed to address the so-called resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) where project tasks have multiple modes and also the preemption of activities are allowed. To solve this NP-hard problem, a new general optimization via simulation (OvS) approach has been developed which is the main contribution of the current re...

In this paper, a robust autopilot is proposed using stable interpolation based on Youla parameterization. The most important condition of stable interpolation between local controllers is the preservation of stability so that each local controller can ensure stability for an open neighborhood around a nominal point. The proposed design used fixed-order robust controller with parameter-dependent...
