Abstract

lanning and scheduling problems are ubiquitous. Planning usually refers to deciding whether a certain activity is a viable enterprise: what resources are required, where do they come from, what do they cost, what peculiar characteristics exist, etc. Scheduling, on the other hand, usually refers to allocating resources to tasks at specific times (eg: time lines). There is a sliding scale between the two extremes. Planning emphasizes the feasibility and value of the overall job, while scheduling addresses the exact sequencing of events. We will use the term "planning" to cover the whole spectrum, but like many authors we will occasionally use the terms interchangeably.
