Abstract. This paper presents multiple variances of selection operator used in Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II applied to solving Bi-Objective Multi-Skill Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. A hybrid Differential Evolution with Greedy Algorithm is used as a baseline. This comparison is used to determine whether a multi-objective approach can outperform single-objective approaches in finding potential Pareto Fronts. Furthermore, found Pareto Fronts are compared using various measures. A modified selection operators have been introduced along with a clone prevention method. Experiments show the increase in efficiency caused by the use of new selection methods
