This paper studies a two-agent single-machine scheduling problem with sum-ofprocessing- times-based learning consideration. The goal is to find an optimal schedule to minimize the total late work of the first agent subject to the restriction that the maximum lateness of the second agent has an upper bound. For this problem, a branchand- bound algorithm along with several dominances and a lower bound is developed to find the optimal solution, and a tabu algorithm with several improvements is proposed to find the near-optimal solution. Computational experiments are provided to further measure the performance of the proposed algorithms.
