Due to the problem complexity, three developed meta-heuristic algorithms, namely NSGA-II and NRGA and MOPSO, are applied to solve the model. To evaluate the algorithms, a set of tests’ problem are considered. In addition, a MADM approach called TOPSIS is employed to compare the algorithms' results. Finally, the sensitivity analysis in terms of problem’s performance is fulfilled.}, keywords = {MOPSO,Multi-objective optimization,NSGA-II,RACP,RCPSP}, url = {https://aie.ut.ac.ir/article_63178.html}, eprint = {https://aie.ut.ac.ir/article_63178_ffe698baa7942ed5ca551d159e7a4bb9.pdf} }
