A Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for Software Personnel Staffing for HCIM Solutions

2. Background

Developing effective selection approaches represents a pivotal task for managers and companies alike (Chien & Chen, 2008). As a result of this pressure, the application of decision support systems on personnel selection and recruitment has been increasing in the last years. Thus, expert systems are shown to have matured to the point of offering real benefits in many of their applications including, among other aspects, personnel issues (Garcia-Crespo et al., 2009). In this scenario, GAs have been pointed out as accurate solutions for project management issues (Alba & Francisco Chicano, 2007).
