Abstract: The article describes a solution approach for the multi-mode, resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem. Our key ideas are based on the concepts of Variable Neighborhood Search, together with Iterated Local Search. A particular focus of this work is devoted towards the parallel implementation of such local search solution techniques. With the increasing availability of parallel (multi-core) computer hardware, we believe that such techniques are about to gain attractiveness in the future.
