Project scheduling with time windows and scarce resources: temporal and resource-constrained project scheduling with regular and nonregular objective functions

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 schedulingproblems 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.
