Single-Machine Scheduling to Minimize Total Completion Time and Tardiness with Two Competing Agents by Wen-Chiung Lee, Yau-Ren Shiau, Yu-Hsiang Chung, Lawson Ding

“…We consider a single-machine two-agent problem where the objective is to minimize a weighted combination of the total completion time and the total tardiness of jobs from the first agent given that no tardy jobs are allowed for the second agent. A branch-and-bound algorithm is developed to derive the optimal sequence and two simulated annealing heuristic algorithms are proposed to search for the near-optimal solutions. …”
