Project scheduling under uncertainty: survey and research potentials
Article Abstract:
A review on basic methods for project scheduling under uncertainty conditions is presented. Potential uses of various methods are also discussed. The various methods analyzed are, reactive scheduling (revises schedule based on unexpected event), stochastic scheduling (schedules activities with uncertain durations), fuzzy scheduling (uses fuzzy numbers for modeling activities), proactive scheduling (mostly machine schedules), and sensitivity analysis.

The construction of stable project baseline schedules
Article Abstract:
Majority of project scheduling efforts assume complete information about the scheduling problem to be solved and a static deterministic environment within which the pre-computed baseline schedule would be executed. However, in reality, project activities are subject to considerable uncertainty, which generally leads to numerous schedule disruptions.
