Description

Set intended to study variable resource demand influence. It is equilibrated on morphologic indicators, and it have enough instances to allow obtain solid conclusions. It is built on MT Set1 networks and on ResSet4 resources set. See paper: Vanhoucke, Mario, Coelho, Jose. 2018. A tool to test and validate algorithms for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, Computers & Industrial Engineering 118, 1: 251 - 265.
