Abstract :
Genetic Programming is applied to solve scheduling problems. The resulting tool simulates the PERT method of project control, and Genetic Programming provides multiple acceptable solutions. This tool has a wide application in the management of large and complex projects. It is a bio-inspired means to obtain solution in many disparate areas of activity such as for computer gaming, and when a complex system needs to be understood and executed properly as in many types of security operation.
