A PSO approach for software project planning

Search-based software project management is a hot research point in software engineering. Based on the event-based scheduler (EBS) we have proposed in previous work [1], this paper intends to further propose a two-phase particle swarm optimization approach which uses a set-based representation for task scheduling and an integer representation for workload assignment scheduling to improve planning performance. Experimental results on 83 instances demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
