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 ...

Multi-project management and uncertain environment are very common factors, they bring greater challenges to scheduling due the increase of problem complexity response efficiency requirements. In this paper, a novel hyper-heuristic based filtering genetic programming (HH-FGP) framework is proposed for evolving priority rules (PRs) deal with multi-project considering stochastic activity duration...

Software project scheduling is the problem of allocating employees to tasks in a software project. Due to the large scale of current software projects, many studies have investigated the use of optimization algorithms to find good software project schedules. However, despite the importance of human factors to the success of software projects, existing work has considered only a limited number o...

The discrete time –cost trade-off problem (DTCTP) is one of the main aspects of project scheduling. In DTCTP , we treat cost as a non-renewable resource and the availability of renewable resource per period has been neglected. It was recently suggested that the quality of project should also be taken into consideration. Therefore, when renewable resources and quality are considered, the traditi...

As a general branch of project scheduling problems, resource investment problem (RIP) considers resource availabilities as decision variables to determine a level of employed resources minimizing the costs of the project. In addition to costs (cash outflows), researchers in the later extensions of the RIP took payments (cash inflows) received from clients into account and used the net present v...

Due to the development of management idea and the scarcity of some resources, the lean management has become the necessary request to implement effective control of resource constrained project. Resource constrained project scheduling is the significant guarantee to attain the lean management. The resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), with the objective of minimizing project ...

As one of the most challenging combinatorial optimization problems in scheduling, the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) has attracted numerous scholars’ interest resulting in considerable research in the past few decades. However, most of these papers focused on the single objective RCPSP; only a few papers concentrated on the multi-objective resource-constrained project s...
