A Stochastic Scheduling Model for Software Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a scheduling model which is tailored to the dynamics of software projects. In the model, activity times are stochastic, resources are constrained and non-identical, and scheduling is preemptive. As opposed to other stochastic project scheduling models, the completion time of an activity explicitly depends on the amount of feedback received from concurrent activities. As a consequence, the completion time of an activity also depends on the scheduling strategy.

A stochastic model for project selection and scheduling problem
Resource limitation in zero time may cause to some profitable projects not to be selected in project selection problem, thus simultaneous project portfolio selection and scheduling problem has received significant attention. In this study, budget, investment costs and earnings are considered to be stochastic. The objectives are maximizing net present values of selected projects and minimizing v...
متن کاملSplittable stochastic project scheduling with constrained renewable resource
This paper discusses the problem of allocation of constrained renewable resource to splittable activities of a single project. If the activities of stochastic projects can be split, these projects may be completed in shorter time when the available resource is constrained. It is assumed that the resource amount required to accom-plish each activity is a discrete quantity and deterministic. The ...
متن کاملScheduling Software Projects to Minimize the Development Time and Cost with a Given Staff
A probabilistic scheduling model for software projects is presented. The model explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. When the scheduling strategy is fixed, the model outputs a probability distribution for the project completion time or cost. By applying stochastic optimization techniques, schedules for software projects can be computed which minimize the development time or cost with...
متن کاملDEVELOPING THE LSM VPR SCHEDULING METHOD FOR SCHEDULING HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS BASED ON EFFECTIVE FACTORS ON EMBANKMENT ACTIVITY PRODUCTIVITY
Highway construction projects are one of the most important construction projects in the world. Therefore predicting the time of these kinds of projects is important. Basically highway projects are including few activities which are repeating along the horizontal direction. One of the best methods for scheduling these types of projects is linear scheduling method. The repetitive nature of the h...
متن کاملTowards Optimizing the Schedule of Software Projects with Respect to Development Time and Cost
A new probabilistic model for software projects is presented which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model is a basis for applying stochastic optimization techniques to compute schedules which minimize the development time and cost. Process simulation is combined with the optimization techniques to cut down their computing time.
