This paper discusses an extension of the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) in which the resource availability as well as the resource request of the activities may change from period to period. While the applicability of this extension should be obvious, we...

The critical chain method is a recent alternative to the traditional critical path method, an alternative which is becoming more and more popular, but still lacks a formal description. It exists more or less on the level of ideas and seems to have quite a lot of gaps and non-researched areas....

This paper is devoted to a comparison of all available branch-and-bound algorithms that can be applied to solve resource-constrained project scheduling problems with multiple execution modes for each activity. After summarizing the two exact algorithms that have been suggested in the literature,...

In this paper we consider the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with multiple execution modes for each activity and makespan minimization as objective. We present a new genetic algorithm approach to solve this problem. The genetic encoding is based on a precedence feasible sequence...
