Abstract

En 中文
This paper solves the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with a satisfiability problem (SAT) solver. This paper builds further on various existing SAT models for this well-known project scheduling problem and extends them with two methods to satisfy the resource constraints. Specifically, we use the well-known minimal forbidden sets and compare them with the so-called covers that are traditionally used in SAT implementations. Moreover, we also implement an existing binary decision trees approach under various settings and extend the model with networks with adders, so far never used for solving the RCPSP, to guarantee that resource constraints are satisfied.
