Perspectives in Modern Project Scheduling

  • Edited by two leading researchers in project scheduling, Joanna Jozefowska and Jan Weglarz. Jan Weglarz is one of the most distinguished members of the OR/MS community and a recipient of the EURO Gold Medal
  • The monograph summarizes the main recent achievements in the field and points out the most important theoretical results such as new models of project uncertainty and applications such as grid resource management
  • It will cover the range of the key models in the field, including deterministic, probabilistic, single- and multi-mode, single- and multi-objective, and a general model on discrete-continuous resources

Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science (ISOR, volume 92)

About this book

Operations Research began with the mathematical scheduling of a massive project—logistically supplying Europe with military equipment and goods during the WWII. Today project scheduling research continues growing in a variety of its theoretical models, in its magnitude and application. As the world becomes more interrelated and complex, the wider its research is applied to an increasing number of project scheduling problems.

Project Scheduling: Surveying the State-of-the-Art surveys the current state-of-the-art in operations research with chapters written by the respective leading experts on each topic. It covers the range of the key models in the field, including deterministic, probabilistic, single- and multi-mode, single- and multi-objective, and a general model on discrete-continuous resources. Recent solution algorithms are systematical examined. The book summarize sthe current developments and theoretical achievements in the field, including project uncertainty and grid resource management.
