Mitigating the impact of Active Shooter incidents is of the utmost importance. These tragic events not only claim innocent lives but also instil fear and can ultimately disrupt social fabric. The developed model seeks to support Security Experts decision making while performing the Risk Management cycle during the Assessment and Mitigations stages by using Problem-Solving Agents to simulate the threat environme...

This article summarises the research studies published in the special issue on Project Management and Scheduling devoted to the 18th International Conference on Project Management and Scheduling (PMS). The special issue contains state-of-the art research in the field of (non-)robust project and machine scheduling and the contribution of each individual study to the academic literature are discussed. We notice t...
This paper present an instance transformation procedure to modify known instances of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to make them easier to solve by heuristic and/or exact solution algorithms.The procedure makes use of a set of transformation rules that aim at reducing the feasible search space without excluding at least one possible optimal solution. The procedure will be applied to a set o...
This study evaluates a new solution approach for the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling with Alternative Subgraphs (RCPSP-AS) in case that complex relations (i.e. nested and linked alternatives) are considered. In the RCPSP-AS, the project activity structure is extended with alternative activity sequences. This implies that only a subset of all activities should be scheduled, which corresponds with a set o...
This paper presents a matheuristic solution algorithm to solve the well-known resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The problem makes use of a restricted neighbourhood method using an activity selection and a search space restriction module and implements them as two alternative search algorithms. The first algorithm makes use of the best-performing components of the branch-and-bound procedur...
Camping needs a strategic shift based on innovation and that competes with the current campsites. Glamping emerges as an innovative concept, capable of combining the advantages of cam- ping, making up for the negative issues traditionally associated with it. This topic is justi ed by the growing trend around the world, which may serve to withdraw camping from the stagnation stage where it is. The present study ...
