摘要:Multimode resourceconstrained project scheduling problems (MRCPSPs) are classified as NPhard problems, in which a task has different execution modes characterized by different resource requirements. Estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) has shown an effective performance for solving such realworld optimization problems but it fails to find the desired optima. This paper integrates a novel hybrid local search technique with EDA to enhance their local search ability. The new local search is based on deletetheninsert operator and a random walk (DIRW) to enhance exploitation abilities of EDA in the neighborhoods of the search space. The proposed algorithm is capable to explore and exploit the search mechanism in the search space through its outer and inner loops. The proposed algorithm is tested and evaluated using benchmark test problems of the project scheduling problem library PSPLIB. Simulation results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the classical EDA algorithm. The obtained results showed that the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and outperformed the compared EDA algorithm
