The book presents the state of the art of deterministic resource-constrained project scheduling with time windows. General temporal constraints (arising from minimum and maximum time lags between project activities) and several different types of limited resources are considered. A large variety...

The paper introduces a new method for the graphical representation of multicriteria decision problems with discrete sets of alternatives. The approach proposed here extends projection techniques based on principal component analysis by incorporating information about preferences between...

The travelling salesman problem, in which the best route between cities to be visited is chosen from a large number of possible routes, is reconsidered using the time reversal of physical dynamics, e.g. an inverse of the diffusion process. Information mediators assigned to every city diffuse as...
