We consider the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The focus is on an algorithm which is supposed to find a makespan optimal solution. This algorithm has been presented in a recent paper by Speranza and Vercellis. The correctness of the algorithm is examined. Moreover,...

We consider an extension of the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), which covers discrete resource-resource and time-resource tradeoffs. As a result a project scheduler is permitted to identify several alternatives or modes of accomplishment for each activity of...

This paper considers two problem classes that are important to researchers as well as practitioners, namely packing and project scheduling problems. First, the two problem categories are described. This includes a classification of packing problems as well as of project scheduling concepts....
