Reducing the Number of Paths in a Minimized Project-Network With Given Bounds on the Durations of Activities

This paper deals in a preliminary way with the problem of selecting the smallest possible number of dominant paths in a minimized project-network with given bounds on the permissible values of the durations of activities. For this purpose, a classification technique is proposed. This technique is ba...
