The book presents the state of the art of deterministic resource-constrained project scheduling with time windows. General temporal constraints (arising from minimum and maximum time lags between project activities) and several different types of limited resources are considered. A large variety of time-based, financial, and resource-based objectives important in practice are studied. A thorough structural analysis of the feasible region of project scheduling problems and a classification and detailed investigation of objective functions are performed, which can be exploited for developing eff

This volume gives an overview on new theoretical approaches on computer-aided methods for strategic and operational planning in public mass transit. Interesting results in scheduling theory are shown, using procedures for solving combinatorial problems with more complex structures. Experiences in the application of specific software tools are also presented. Readers of this book obtain detailed information on the current developments in scheduling theory and in solving such problems in practice. The papers of this volume describe the most important steps of the complete process on planning and

Constraint Programming is a problem-solving paradigm that establishes a clear distinction between two pivotal aspects of a problem: (1) a precise definition of the constraints that define the problem to be solved and (2) the algorithms and heuristics enabling the selection of decisions to solve the problem. It is because of these capabilities that Constraint Programming is increasingly being employed as a problem-solving tool to solve scheduling problems. Hence the development of Constraint-Based Scheduling as a field of study. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of t

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems the book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching. Also multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines are discussed. The methods used to solve these problems are linear programming, dynamic programming, branch-and-bound algorithms, and local search heuristics. Complexity results for different classes of deterministic scheduling problems are summerized.

Scheduling complex processes, such as chemical manufacturing or space shuttle launches, is a focus of substantial effort throughout industry and government. In the past 20 years, the fields of operations research and operations management have tackled scheduling problems with considerable success. Recently, the artificial intelligence community has turned its attention to this class of problems, resulting in a fresh corpus of research and application that extends previous results.This book, comprising original contributions from experts in the field, highlights these new advances.
