Abstract: Abstract Project managers carry out a project with several objectives in mind. They want to finish the project as soon as possible, with the minimum cost, the maximum quality, etc. This chapter studies project scheduling problems when several goals are sought, that is, multi-objective project scheduling problems (MOPSPs) and multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problems (MORCPSPs). We will discuss some of the most important issues that have to be taken into account when dealing with these problems. We will also prove some useful results that can help researchers create algorithms for some of these problems.
