Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors consider the mathematical model and solution method for the optimization problem of the allocation of limited resources of a project as a problem of the arrangement of rectangular objects, where objects being placed have variable metric characteristics that are subject to functional dependences. The partial quality criteria and the constraints of the feasible domain of the problem are formalized.
