This paper addresses the airport flight gate assignment problem with multiple objectives. The objectives are to maximize the total flight gate preferences, to minimize the number of towing activities and to minimize the absolute deviation of the new gate assignment from a so-called reference...

A recurring problem in project management involves the allocation of scarce resources to the individual jobs comprising the project. In many situations such as audit scheduling, the resources correspond to individuals (skilled labour). This naturally leads to an assignment type project...

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...

We consider a generalization of the classical resource constrained project scheduling problem. We introduce so-called partially reiiewable 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...
