Abstract

This paper proposed a new algorithm to solve the Real-RCPSP problem (Real-RCPSP: Real-Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem). The algorithm is developed from the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm hybrid with the adaptive method, which dynamically changes the crossover probability parameter during the evolution process. That parameter value is calculated from the neighborhood particles. The individuals used to make dynamic crossover probability are found by the star-topology. The new algorithm is called A-DEM. The effectiveness of the new algorithm is verified based on experiments with the iMOPSE dataset, which is the standard data set for this problem. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more effective for this problem.
