Abstract: With the overlapping relationship between tasks considered, a traditional resource-constrained project scheduling model is improved. Then, a resource-constrained project scheduling model based on design structure matrix (DSM) is built, and a particle swarm optimization algorithm is designed. An algorithm model to solve the DSM-based resource constrained project scheduling problem is presented with an example for verifying the validity of the proposed model.
