Project Scheduling is concerned with the allocation of scarce resources over time. The rich optimisation models with time windows that are treated in this book cover a multitude of practical decision problems arising in diverse application areas such as construction engineering or make-to-order...

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...

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...
