Abstract
The paper presents an idea of multi-agent scheduling problem as an extension of the classical models. In contrary to the classical approach, where the individual operations have pre-defined weights, a lot of players (agents) with different (often conflicting) preferences for performing various operations appear. A formal model of the problem is formulated and the general concept of scheduling problem formulation in the market form is presented. In the paper the exemplary application of the market mechanism for the specific problem appears.
