Abstract

Rescheduling gains more attention in recent years by researchers who focus their study on scheduling problem under uncertain situations. But in software engineering circumstances, it has not been widely explored. In this paper we propose a GA-based approach for rescheduling by applying a multi-objective objective function considering both efficiency and stability to produce new schedules after managers take control options to catch up their initial schedules. We also conducted case studies by simulation data. The results show the effectiveness of the rescheduling method in supporting decision making in a dynamic environment.
