Multi-agent scheduling (MAS) models play an important role in improving customer satisfaction levels, in which the sequence and timing of tasks associated with different customers that act as agents are determined to optimise the customer-preference-based criterion. Given the NP-hardness of the MAS problems, different types of algorithms are suggested, including a branch and bound algorithm, a hybrid discrete artificial bee colony algorithm, and a deep reinforcement learning method.
