We study the stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling problem or SRCPSP, where project activities have stochastic durations. A solution is a scheduling policy, and we propose a new class of policies that is a generalization of most of the classes described in the literature. A policy...

We present a globally optimal solution procedure to tackle the preemptive stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling problem (PSRCPSP). A solution to the PSRCPSP is a policy that allows to construct a precedence- and resource-feasible schedule that minimizes the expected makespan of a...

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) has been widely studied. A fundamental assumption of the basic type of RCPSP is that activity durations are deterministic (i.e., they are known in advance). In reality, however, this is almost never the case.In this article we...

We study projects with activities that have stochastic durations that are modeled using phase-type distributions. Intermediate cash flows are incurred during the execution of the project. Upon completion of all project activities a payoff is obtained. Because activity durations are stochastic,...
