In this paper we consider the non-preemptive variant of a multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with mode identity, in which a set of project activities is partitioned into disjoint subsets while all activities forming one subset have to be processed in the same mode. We present a depth-first branch and bound algorithm for the resource constrained project schedulin...

An international jury composed of Michael Crawford (University of Kansas, USA), Dennis O'Rourke (University of Utah, USA), and Stephen Shennan (University College London, UK) has awarded the Gabriel Ward Lasker Prize 2011 to Dr. Laura Fortunato for her articles entitled "Reconstructing the History of Residence Strategies in Indo-European–Speaking Societies" and "Reconstructing the History of Ma...

Human activity recognition is an important parameter in the wide range of applications. To recognize the composite activities in the real and complex environments becomes difficult as monitoring the activities of multiple users cannot be done efficiently using conventional methods. The conventional methods mainly consist of knowledge driven and data driven approaches. In this paper a model for ...

The purpose of this problem is to choose a set of project activities for crashing, in a way that the expected project time, cost and risk are minimized and the expected quality is maximized. In this problem, each project activity can be performed with a specific executive mode. Each executive mode is characterized with four measures, namely the expected time, cost, quality and risk. In this pap...

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...
