Based on the idea of dividing the task into several processes, we centre our interest on the techniques provided by parallel computing to solve the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, with the objective of obtaining a feasible schedule, for the activities, that minimises the length of the total project. The scheme that leads to the best results performs a static first-level decomposition of the solution tree, where processes search for a compromise between the benefits obtained after a parallel search and the communication and coordination costs implied. The contribution of the concept of safe cutsets has allowed the cutset dominance rule to be applied in a parallel implementation. Similar considerations will have to be taken into account when solving other problems, by designing parallel branch and bound algorithms which use dominance rules that are only applicable when performing a depth-first search.
Las metodologías aplicadas en la implementación de la Competencia Transversal “Comprensión e integración” en los estudios de Administración y Dirección de Empresas, son muy diversas predominando el estudio de casos y la resolución de problemas. En el presente trabajo se analiza cómo se aplican y qué ventajas e inconvenientes se observan. Se concluye que al evaluar al alumno desde distintas perspectivas con diferentes metodologías, el resultado global es muy correcto.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
