About this title

Synopsis

New and powerful heuristic methods for building scheduling systems are developed by this text, which also develops enough of a foundation for exact and older heuristic methods to make it suitable as an introductory textbook in scheduling and project management. It provides major software to help students deepen their understanding of methods without being forced to write major computer programs of their own. The software is capable of solving large realistic problems, and thus provides a useful research tool for the instructor as well.
