Ein wichtiges Teilgebiet des Operations Research ist die Projektplanung. Mit ihren Methoden kann der Ablauf unterschiedlicher in der Praxis auftretender Projekte geplant werden. Cord-Ulrich Fündeling entwickelt exakte und heuristische Lösungsverfahren für verschiedene Varianten eines...

The book is devoted to structural issues, algorithms, and applications of resource allocation problems in project management. Special emphasis is given to a unifying framework within which a large variety of project scheduling problems can be treated. Those problems involve general temporal...

The topic of this book is known as dynamic scheduling, and is used to refer to three dimensions of project management and scheduling: the construction of a baseline schedule and the analysis of a project schedule’s risk as preparation of the project control phase during project progress. This...

This book provides a postgraduate audience the keys they need to understand and further develop a set of tools for the efficient computation of lower bounds and valid inequalities in integer programs and combinatorial optimization problems. After discussing the classical approaches described in...
