Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem

摘要

This paper presents a new genetic algorithm for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem(RCPSP).The algorithm employs a standardized random key(SRK) vector representation with an additional gene that determines whether the serial or parallel schedule generation scheme(SGS) is to be used as the decoding procedure.The iterative forward-backward improvement as the local search procedure is applied upon all generated solutions to schedule the project three times and obtain an SRK vector,which is rese...
