Preface
Project scheduling began as a research track within the mathematical field of Operations Research in order to determine start and finish times of project activities subject to precedence and resource constraints while optimizing a certain project objective (such as lead-time minimization, cash-flow optimization, etc.). The initial research done in the late 1950s mainly focused on network based techniques such as CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), which are still widely recognized as important project management tools and techniques. From this moment on, a substantia
