Bin packing problems are at the core of many well-known combinatorial optimization problems and several practical applications alike. In this work we introduce a novel variant of an abstract bin packing problem which is subject to a chaining constraint among items. The problem stems from an...

This paper deals with the generalized resource-constrained project scheduling problem (GRCPSP) which extends the well-known resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) by considering job specific release and due dates, non-negative minimum start-to-start time lags as well as...
