This paper addresses methods for formulating and solving a general class of nonpreemptive resource-constrained project scheduling problems in which job durations are discrete functions of committed renewable, nonrenewable and doubly-constrained resources (multi-mode time resource tradeoff). We...

Two phases can be distinguished in academic course scheduling: In phase one lectures have to be assigned to professors, whereas in phase two the lectures have to be scheduled. Here we assume that the lectures are already assigned to professors, i.e. the first phase has been done. For the second...

We consider an extension of the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), which covers discrete resource-resource and time-resource tradeoffs. As a result a project scheduler is permitted to identify several alternatives or modes of accomplishment for each activity of...
