On the sure criticality of tasks in activity networks with imprecise durations

Résumé

The notion of the necessary criticality (both with respect to path and to activity) of a network with imprecisely defined (by means of intervals or fuzzy intervals) activity duration times is introduced and analyzed. It is shown, in the interval case, that both the problem of asserting whether a given path is necessarily critical and the problem of determining an arbitrary necessarily critical path (more exactly, a subnetwork covering all the necessarily critical. paths) are easy. The corresponding solution algorithms are proposed. However, the problem. of evaluating whether a given activity is necessarily critical does not seem to be such. Certain conditions are formulated which in some situations (but not in all possible) allow evaluating the necessary criticality of activities. The results obtained for networks with interval. activity duration. times are generalized to the case of networks with fuzzy activity duration times. Two effective algorithms of calculating the degree of necessary criticality of a fixed path, as well as an algorithm of determining the paths that are necessarily critical to the maximum degree, are proposed.
