This book presents the state of the art of temporal analysis and cost minimization of projects, as well as project planning under limited resources where the projects are modelled by GERT networks. These projects are characterized by a stochastic evolution structure and possible feedback. The temporal analysis exploits the fact that Markov renewal processes can be associated with so-called EOR networks (special GERT networks all of whose nodes have exclusive-or entrance). For single-machine min-sum and min-max scheduling problems with EOR precedence constraints, two polynomial algorithms are...
