This paper addresses the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with flexible resource profiles (FRCPSP). Such a problem often arises in many real-world applications, in which the resource usage of an activity is not merely constant, but can be adjusted from period to period. The FRCPSP...

There have been many survey papers in the area of project scheduling in recent years. These papers have primarily emphasized modeling and algorithmic contributions for specific classes of project scheduling problems, such as net present value (NPV) maximization and makespan minimization, with...

We consider a master surgery scheduling (MSS) problem in which block operating room (OR) time is assigned to different surgical specialties. While many MSS approaches in the literature consider only the impact of the MSS on operating theater and operating staff, we enlarge the scope to...
