Scheduling Resource-Constrained Projects with Ant Colony Optimization Artificial Agents
(2010)
The paper presents a methodology to schedule resource-constrained construction projects by use of algorithms based on ant colony optimization (ACO)
A bid-unbalancing method for lowering a contractor's financial risk
(2008)
A method is presented for unbalancing bids and optimizing the allocation of overall project profits to individual activities by considering the financial parameters of a project (bid mark-up and projected cash flow), in ...
Construction imitating ants: Resource-unconstrained scheduling with artificial ants
(2009-05)
The paper presents a methodology to arrive at critical path calculations in construction networks by imitating the natural selection processes utilized by real-life ants in search of shortest paths to a food source, and ...
Disorder considerations in resource-constrained scheduling
A method is presented for allocating resources to construction activities and for scheduling construction projects under resource constraints by considering the effects that such resource limitations may have on the tendency ...
