Abstract

We consider a bicriteria scheduling problem for a single machine in which jobs belong to either of two different disjoint sets, each set having its own performance measure. The problem has been referred to as interfering job sets in the scheduling literature and also been called multi-agent scheduling where each agent's objective function is to be minimized. The performance criteria specifically selected in this paper are minimizing total completion time and number of tardy jobs for the two set of jobs. We present a forward SPT-EDD heuristic to generate the set of all non-dominated solutions for this problem considering a single machine environment where all the jobs are available at time zero and the jobs are not allowed to be preempted. The complexity of this specific problem is still open; however some pseudo-polynomial algorithms have been suggested by earlier researchers which have been used to compare the results from the proposed heuristic.
