SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book introduces the field of resource-constrained project scheduling. State-of-the-art reviews of optimal and heuristic procedures are provided for classical project scheduling models. Furthermore, new models which are relevant for practical problem settings, are introduced. The main emphasis is on newly developed competitive heuristic methods.
