Abstract: The parameters of finance requirements, resource leveling, and anticipated profit have significant influence on many aspects of project management. These parameters interact and occasionally conflict with each other. ...

Abstract: Currently, meta-heuristics including the genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) have been used extensively to solve non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problems. Continued efforts of researchers ...

Abstract: Currently, the genetic algorithm (GA) technique has been used in finance-based scheduling to devise critical path method (CPM) schedules exhibiting cash flows of periodical finance needs below preset cash constraints. The ...

Abstract: The construction business is known for its fierce competition among contractors and intensive outsourcing to subcontractors. Contractors compete for projects from owners by offering the lowest bid prices based on the lowest ...
