This paper presents a Differential Evolution algorithm with Estimation of Distribution(DEED)for solving resourceconstrained project scheduling problem.DEED obtains the global information of solution space and interaction among variables based on differential evolution algorithm.The information is used to guide the search process of the algorithms and predict the distribution of the optimal solutions.The algorithm can take full advantage of fast convergence of DE and the global search of EDA.Finally,the DEED algorithm is compared with state-of-the-art algorithms using a set of standard problems available in the literature.The experimental results validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
