Constraint programming and integer linear programming formulations are given. Relaxations based on these formulations and also on related scheduling problems are presented. Exact methods and heuristics are surveyed. Computational experiments, aiming at providing an empirical insight on the difficulty of the problem, are provided.\u003cbr\u003e The second part of the book focuses on several other variants of the RCPSP and on their solution methods. Each variant takes account of real-life characteristics which are not considered in the standard version, such as possible interruptions of activities, production and consumption of resources, cost-based approaches and uncertainty considerations.\u003cbr\u003e The last part presents industrial case studies where the RCPSP plays a central part. Applications are presented in various domains such as assembly shop and rolling ingots production scheduling, project management in information technology companies and instruction scheduling for VLIW processor architectures.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eChristian Artigues\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher at the Laboratory for Analysis and\u003cbr\u003e Architecture of Systems (LAAS) of the French National Institute for\u003cbr\u003e Scientific Research (CNRS).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSophie Demassey\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor at the School of Mining Engineering (EMN), Nantes, France.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEmmanuel Néron\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department of Polytech'Tours, France, and is a member of the Computer Science Laboratory of the University of Tours, France.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 April 2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-ISTE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781848210349\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315540652172,"sku":"9781848210349","price":178.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781848210349.jpg?v=1780114867","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781848210349","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
