چکیده
Over the years numerous branch-and-bound procedures for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) have been developed. Enumerating delaying alternatives, extension alternatives, feasible posets, feasible sequences, feasible completion times or feasible subsets, they all aim at nding as fast as possible a makespan minimal schedule among the resource and precedence feasible ones. Some of the enumeration schemes have been modiied to solve variants of the so-called resource-constrained project scheduling problem, like the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with multiple modes or with work content deened modes. We compare the enumeration of delaying alternatives and the enumeration of extension alternatives. Roughly considered the concepts that analyze only minimal delaying alternatives and the concept that analyze only maximal extension alternatives seem to be equivalent. Counterexamples will show that { in contrast to claims made in the literature { search tree reduction to minimal delaying alternatives and search tree reduction to maximal extension alternatives are not equivalent. While the former reduction preserves optimality the latter one is neither correct for the RCPSP with single execution modes nor for the RCPSP with work content deened modes.

Characterization and Generation of a General Class of Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems
The paper describes an algorithm for the generation of a general class of precedenceand resource-constrained scheduling problems. Easy and hard instances for the singleand multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem are benchmarked by using the state of the art (branch-and-bound-) procedures. The strong impact of the chosen parametric characterization of the problems is shown via...

In this paper we present an exact solution procedure of the branch-and-bound type for solving the muti-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The simplicity of the enumeration scheme enables a compact representation of the current state of the search process. This representation can be employed to formulate and prove search tree reduction schemes which highly increase the perform...
متن کاملProject Scheduling with Discrete Time-resource and Resource-resource Tradeoos
We consider an extension of the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), which covers discrete resource-resource and time-resource tradeo s. As a result a project scheduler is permitted to identify several alternatives or modes of accomplishment for each activity of the project. The solution procedure we present is a considerable generalization of the branch-and-bound ...
