The monograph deals with deterministic project scheduling with time windows for activities and with limited resources. In addition to project duration or makespan, a large number of mostly nonregular objective functions are considered, for example, net present value, earliness plus tardiness cost, c

β¦ Synopsis
A survey of the state of the art of deterministic resource-constrained project scheduling with time windows. General temporal constraints 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 efficient exact and heuristic solution methods. New interesting applications of project scheduling to production and operations management as well as investment projects are discussed in the second edition.
