Abstract

In this paper, we solve the bi-objective scheduling problem on two dedicated processors, an NP-Hard combinatorial optimization problem with a hybrid scatter search-based method. The goal of the problem is to schedule all tasks on their related processors such that the makespan and the total tardiness are minimized. The proposed method starts with an initial reference set, namely Pareto front set, provided by applying an adaptation of the knapsack type procedure. It then solves the problem by making a cooperation between two stages: (i) the first stage focuses on improving the reference set by optimizing the objective related to makespan and, (ii) the second stage tries to highlight the final reference set by favoring the optimization of the total tardiness. Further, at each stage, the $$\varepsilon $$ ε -constraint strategy is employed as a learning strategy, where its aim is to enlarge the search process around reference solutions for covering some unvisited subspaces and so, to avoid a premature convergence. In order to link both stages of the method, the path-relinking is injected whenever a new/modified reference set is reached. Finally, the performance of the designed algorithm is evaluated on instances extracted from the literature. Its results are compared to the results obtained by more recent methods of the literature. Encouraging results have been obtained.
