Scheduling with Resource and Job Patterns

该项目将汇集两种涉及不同类型模式的调度研究：资源模式和工作模式。资源模式对于人员调度问题和项目管理来说是典型的；作业模式通常在机器调度中进行研究。尽管两种模式的性质不同，两种问题的应用领域也不同，但在基础模型中有许多互补的特性，这些特性在过去没有被探索过。在这个项目中，我们打算完成对这两个模型的深入分析，在这两个领域之间进行知识交流，并开发一个新的方法框架来解决模式问题。对具有资源模式和具有作业模式的单独问题的研究将随着对具有两种模式的组合问题的研究而结束，这两种模式模拟了以前未研究过的实际应用程序的新特性。

The project will bring together two streams of scheduling research which involve patterns of different types: resource patterns and job patterns. Resource patterns are typical for personnel scheduling problems and for project management; job patterns are usually studied within machine scheduling. In spite of the differences in the nature of two types of patterns and the differences in application areas for two types of problems, there are a number of complementary features in the underlying models which have not been explored in the past. Within this project, we intend to complete the in-depth analysis of the two models, perform the knowledge exchange between the two areas and develop a new methodological framework for solving problems with patterns. The study of the separate problems with resource patterns and those with job patterns will be concluded with the study of the combined problem with both types of patterns, which models new features of real-world applications not studied before.
