Abstract

To solve the problem of resource scheduling in project group management, which is a crying problem in offshore project management, the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm was introduced. First, the similarities between resource dynamic scheduling problem and ant's food-seeking were analyzed and the meta-information was defined. Second, the dynamic scheduling model was proposed. Then, engineering practice in offshore project group resource scheduling showed that the resources can be allocated timely, dynamically and rationally by using this algorithm. The method can also be introduced into other related spheres. This study will give rise to project group management.
