In this study we compared seven commercial Software packages for project management. Employing multi attribute value theory, the comparison is based on a sound decision-theoretic framework. Additionally, we included a comprehensive assessment of the capability to solve resource-constrained...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management packages to schedule precedence- and resource-constrained projects. We introduce the basic project scheduling model and give a short survey of optimal and heuristic Solution methods. Furthermore, we outline extensions of the...

This paper describes recents developments in computer-based project-scheduling. The focus is on the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, a backbone-model of Software packages for project management. Based on a parametric characterisation of instances we provide new methods, which...

We present a set of benchmark instances for the evaluation of Solution procedures for single- and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems. The instances have been systematically generated by the Standard project generator ProGen. They are characterized by the input-parameters...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management systems to perform finite scheduling. We give a brief survey of the way commercial project management systems work and especially how they perform finite scheduling. Since the implemented methods are proprietary, we measure...
