Incentive contract design for projects: The owner's perspective
In our most recent publication in the Omega - The International Journal of Management Science, a novel model to assess the impact of the contract structure of a project on the expected profitability and incentive behavious of project contractor and owner has been analysed.
Payment models and net present value optimization for resource-constrained project scheduling
In our most recent publication in the Computers and Industrial Engineering, three payments models for the single- and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem have been proposed and tested using artificial project data. It is a follow-up study of the master thesis awarded by PMI Belgium.
A new book that gives a summary of the research papers written at the Operations Research & Scheduling (OR&S) group over the last two decades is now available! It's free as long as you share it via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn (click at the following link):
A comparative study of Artificial Intelligence methods for project duration forecasting
