We study the scheduling of projects subject to general temporal constraints between activities such that the project net present value is maximized. The proposed algorithm is based on a first-order steepest ascent approach, where the steepest ascent directions are normalized by the supremum...

We consider a generalization of the classical resource constrained project scheduling problem. We introduce so-called partially renewable resources by assuming for each resource a capacity on subsets of periods. The concept of partially renewable resources is a fundamental tool in order to make,...

We consider the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The purpose of this paper is to direct the focus to a branch-and-bound concept that can, by simple adaptations, operate on a wide range of problem settings. The general approach can, e.g., deal with multimode problems, resource...

Management of projects is complicated by the scarcity of resources required to execute them. Limited resources usually extend the project completion times beyond those determined by CPM/PERT. Several solution procedures have been developed for solving the resource constrained project scheduling...

Resource-constrained project scheduling with generalised precedence constraints is a very general scheduling model with applications in areas such as make-to-order production planning. We describe a time-oriented branch-and-bound algorithm that uses constraint-propagation techniques which...

In project scheduling, a set of precedence-constrained jobs has to be scheduled so as to minimize a given objective. In resource-constrained project scheduling, the jobs additionally compete for scarce resources. Due to its universality, the latter problem has a variety of applications in...
