N2 - This paper presents a new method that describes activity duration times, which can be as random fuzzy variables to solve the software project scheduling problem. It solves the problem of the present classic models, such as PERT and CPM, which are weak in solving project scheduling problem for software development due to the concurrent, iterative and evolutionary nature characteristics of software projects. Next, a novel stochastic software project scheduling model -expected cost model -is suggested. Furthermore, basing on genetic algorithm and random fuzzy simulation, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is designed to solve the expected cost model. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the hybrid intelligent algorithm.
