Abstract

This paper concentrates on the created algorithm for solving the single machine total weighted tardiness problem (SMTWT). The algorithm is based on searching the solution space along with the tree rules. The properties of the algorithm are studied taking into account the results of experiments made using the designed and implemented experimentation system. This system allows testing various configurations of the algorithm as well as comparing the effects obtained by this algorithm with effects of known meta-heuristic algorithms, which are based on Simulated Annealing and Invasive Weed Optimization. The paper shows that the proposed algorithm requires some improvements, however seems to be promising.
