Abstract

For projects consisting of activities which require scarce resources and which are connected by prescribed minimum and maximum time lags, we give a survey of calendar constraints that have to be considered when dealing with real-life applications, e.g. batch production in process industries, building projects, or research projects. Break calendars provide time intervals (breaks) where some resources are not available. Some activities may be interrupted during a break. Others must not be interrupted. Capacity calendars specify the time-varying resource capacity available.
