Major issues of concern to managers and researchers:

• Representation and Modelling for visualization and analysis.
  
  
• Scheduling activities subject to resource constraints.
  
  
• Financial issues, either related to project compression or to cash flows.
  
  
• Uncertainty in activity durations as well as in resource availabilities and / or cash flows, and how to cope with it.
  
  
• Risk management in projects through priority setting and defining margins for cost and time.
  
  
• Human and organizational aspects.
