This paper presents a Multi-objective Hyper-heuristic Evolutionary Algorithm (MHypEA) for the solution of Scheduling and Inspection Planning in Software Development Projects. Scheduling and Inspection planning is a vital problem in software engineering whose main objective is to schedule the persons to various activities in the software development process such as coding, inspection, testing an...

this study aims to deal with a more realistic combined problem of project scheduling and material ordering. the goal is to minimize the total material holding and ordering costs by determining the starting time of activities along with material ordering schedules subject to some constraints. the problem is first mathematically modelled. then a hybrid simulated annealing and genetic algorithm is...

In this study, the problem of project selection and scheduling with resource management is considered setup times, dynamic arrivals, priorities relationship between projects. A fuzzy multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model proposed for solution problem. The classic two-phase goal (FGP) approach modified to solve MILP model. addressed defined over a construction company. ef...

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to find a schedule that minimizes the project duration subject to precedence relations and resource constraints. To further account for economic aspects of the project, one may add an objective of cash nature to the problem. In addition, dynamic nature and variations in real world are known to introduce uncertainties into data. Therefore, t...

Software project scheduling plays an important role in reducing the cost and duration of software projects. It is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that has been addressed based on single and multiobjective algorithms. However, such algorithms have always used fixed genetic operators, and it is unclear which operators would be more appropriate across the search process. In this pape...

resource constraints project scheduling problem (rspsp) seeks proper sequence of implementation of project activities in a way that the precedence relations and different type of resource constraints are met concurrently. rcpsp tends to optimize some measurement function as make-span, cost of implementation, number of tardy tasks and etc. as rcpsp is assumed as an np-hard problem so, different ...

This paper presents a multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with positive and negative cash flows. The net present value (NPV) maximization and making span minimization are this study objectives. And since this problem is considered as complex optimization in NP-Hard context, we present a mathematical model for the given problem and solve three evolutionary algorithms;...
