Operations research games: A survey

P Borm, H Hamers, R Hendrickx - Top, 2001 - Springer
This paper surveys the research area of cooperative games associated with several types of
operations research problems in which various decision makers (players) are involved …

Scheduling problems with two competing agents

A Agnetis, PB Mirchandani, D Pacciarelli… - Operations …, 2004 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider the scheduling problems arising when two agents, each with a set of
nonpreemptive jobs, compete to perform their respective jobs on a common processing …

Multi-agent scheduling on a single machine to minimize total weighted number of tardy jobs

TCE Cheng, CT Ng, JJ Yuan - Theoretical computer science, 2006 - Elsevier
We consider the feasibility model of multi-agent scheduling on a single machine, where
each agent's objective function is to minimize the total weighted number of tardy jobs. We …

Cooperative games with stochastic payoffs

J Suijs, P Borm, A De Waegenaere, S Tijs - European Journal of …, 1999 - Elsevier
This paper introduces a new class of cooperative games arising from cooperative decision
making problems in a stochastic environment. Various examples of decision making …

Multi-agent scheduling on a single machine with max-form criteria

TCE Cheng, CT Ng, JJ Yuan - European Journal of Operational Research, 2008 - Elsevier
We consider multi-agent scheduling on a single machine, where the objective functions of
the agents are of the max-form. For the feasibility model, we show that the problem can be …

Scheduling problems with two competing agents to minimize minmax and minsum earliness measures

B Mor, G Mosheiov - European Journal of Operational Research, 2010 - Elsevier
A relatively new class of scheduling problems consists of multiple agents who compete on
the use of a common processor. We focus in this paper on a two-agent setting. Each of the …

On the convexity of games corresponding to sequencing situations with due dates

P Borm, G Fiestras-Janeiro, H Hamers… - European Journal of …, 2002 - Elsevier
This paper considers sequencing situations with due date criteria. Three different types of
criteria are considered: the weighted penalty criterion, the weighted tardiness criterion and …

A two-machine flowshop problem with two agents

WC Lee, SK Chen, CW Chen, CC Wu - Computers & Operations Research, 2011 - Elsevier
The multiple-agent scheduling problems have received increasing attention recently.
However, most of the research focuses on deriving feasible/optimal solutions or examining …

Solving a two-agent single-machine scheduling problem considering learning effect

DC Li, PH Hsu - Computers & Operations Research, 2012 - Elsevier
Scheduling with multiple agents and learning effect has drawn much attention. In this paper,
we investigate the job scheduling problem of two agents competing for the usage of a …

Two-agent scheduling to minimize the total cost

QQ Nong, TCE Cheng, CT Ng - European Journal of Operational Research, 2011 - Elsevier
Two agents, each having his own set of jobs, compete to perform their own jobs on a
common processing resource. Each job of the agents has a weight that specifies its …
