A large share of the vegetable oil market is today shifting from food to the energy sector. This trend led to discussions about the chance of confliction between these two chains and its possible social and environmental consequences. Moreover the increasing interest in pure vegetable oils for...

In our paper, we analyze new exact approaches for the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling (MRCPSP) problem with the aim of makespan minimization. For the single-mode RCPSP (SRCPSP) recent exact algorithms combine a Branch and Bound algorithm with principles from Constraint...
