Abstract

In this paper a meta heuristic Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based approach for the solution of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with the purpose of minimizing project time has been developed. In order to evaluate the performance of the PSO based approach for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, computational analyses are given. As per the results the application of PSO to project scheduling is achievable.
