Abstract

The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem RCPSP is a well-studied academic problem that has been shown to be well suited to optimization via Genetic Algorithms GA. In this paper, a new method will be designed that would be able to solve RCPSP. This research area is very common in industry especially when a set of activities needs to be finished as soon as possible subject to two sets of constraints, precedence constraints and resource constraints. The presented algorithm in this paper is used to solve large scale RCPSP and improves solutions. Finally, for comparing, results are reported for the most famous classical problems that are taken from PSPLIB.
