Surrogate-Assisted Genetic Programming with Phenotypic Characterisation in Dynamic Multi-Mode Project Scheduling
Dynamic multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling requires decisions to be made under precedence constraints, limited resources, multiple execution modes, and uncertain activity durations. Genetic programming (GP) can automatically evolve heuristic rules for such problems, but its simulation-based fitness evaluation is computationally expensive. This study investigates phenotypic characterisation (PC) in surrogate-assisted GP to evolve higher-quality scheduling heuristics under a fixed budget of full simulation-based fitness evaluations. A key question is how GP individuals should be encoded into phenotypic characterisations to support effective fitness estimation. To answer this...
