Abstract
This paper presents a new adaptation of the simulated annealing algori thm for solving non-preemptive resource-constrained project scheduling problems in which resources are limited but renewable from period to period. This algorithm is able to handle single-mode and multi-mode pr oblems and to optimize different objective functions. Statistical expe riments show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm even in comparis on to some Tabu search heuristics.
