A parallel machine scheduling problem with two-agent and tool change activities: An efficient hybrid metaheuristic algorithm

M Yazdani, SM Khalili, F Jolai - International Journal of Computer …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Scheduling with multiple agents has been widely studied. However, a little work has been
done on multi-agent scheduling with availability constraints. This paper addresses a two …

Pareto‐optimization of three‐agent scheduling to minimize the total weighted completion time, weighted number of tardy jobs, and total weighted late work

Y Zhang, J Yuan, CT Ng… - Naval Research Logistics …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We consider three‐agent scheduling on a single machine in which the criteria of the three
agents are to minimize the total weighted completion time, the weighted number of tardy …

Pareto-scheduling of two competing agents with their own equal processing times

R Chen, Z Geng, L Lu, J Yuan, Y Zhang - European Journal of Operational …, 2022 - Elsevier
We consider the Pareto-scheduling of two competing agents on a single machine, in which
the jobs of each agent have their “own equal processing times”(shortly, OEPT). In the …

Multi-agent scheduling in a no-wait flow shop system to maximize the weighted number of just-in-time jobs

RX Chen, SS Li, WJ Li - Engineering Optimization, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
This article studies a multi-agent scheduling problem on a set of m machines in a no-wait
flow shop system, where each agent's objective function is to maximize its own weighted …

Two-agent single-machine scheduling to minimize the weighted sum of the agents' objective functions

TCE Cheng, CY Liu, WC Lee, M Ji - Computers & industrial engineering, 2014 - Elsevier
Scheduling with two competing agents on a single machine has become a popular research
topic in recent years. Most research focuses on minimizing the objective function of one …

Single-machine earliness–tardiness scheduling with two competing agents and idle time

F Ahmadizar, J Eteghadipour - Engineering Optimization, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Two-agent scheduling has gained a lot of research attention recently. Two competing agents
who have their own objective functions have to perform their respective set of jobs on one or …

Two-agent parallel machine scheduling with a restricted number of overlapped reserved tasks

BC Choi, MJ Park - European Journal of Operational Research, 2017 - Elsevier
We consider a two-agent scheduling problem on parallel machines such that each task of
agent 2 has a given time window. Furthermore, we introduce a resource constraint under …

Proportionate flow shop scheduling with multi-agents to maximize total gains of JIT jobs

SS Li, RX Chen, WJ Li - Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2018 - Springer
Different variants of the multi-agent scheduling have been studied in the literature due to its
wide applications in artificial intelligence, decision theory, operations research, etc. Most of …

[HTML][HTML] Two-agent scheduling with generalized due dates

MJ Park, YH Min, BC Choi - The Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics, 2018 - Elsevier
In this paper we consider the problems of order pickers in warehouse management. We
interpret the problems as machine scheduling problems in which the due dates are not …
