In this study we compared seven commercial Software packages for project management. Employing multi attribute value theory, the comparison is based on a sound decision-theoretic framework. Additionally, we included a comprehensive assessment of the capability to solve resource-constrained...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management packages to schedule precedence- and resource-constrained projects. We introduce the basic project scheduling model and give a short survey of optimal and heuristic Solution methods. Furthermore, we outline extensions of the...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management systems to perform finite scheduling. We give a brief survey of the way commercial project management systems work and especially how they perform finite scheduling. Since the implemented methods are proprietary, we measure...

We consider a generalization of the classical resource constrained project scheduling problem. We introduce so-called partially reiiewable resources by assuming for each resource a capacity on subsets of periods. The concept of partially renewable resources is a fundamental tool in order to make...
