In　recent　years,　with　the　rapid　increase　in　the　complexity　of　project　management,　most　traditional　models　for　solving　resource　constrained　project　scheduling　problems　(RCPSP)　can＇t　handle　real-world　project　scheduling　well,　thus　experts　and　scholars　have　developed　several　multi-agent　based　RCPSP　models.　In　this　paper,　we　first　point　out　the　advantage　of　multi-agent　system　in　solving　RCPSP.　Then,　we　review　representative　multi-agent　methods　on　resource　constrained　project　scheduling.　Finally,　we　propose　some　future　research　directions　of　the　multi-agent　methods　solving　these　problems.　©　2011　IEEE.
