Abstract

We study a sequential version of the KP-model: Each of n agents has a job to be processed on any of m machines. Agents sequentially select a machine for processing their jobs. The goal of each agent is to minimize the completion time of his machine. We study the sequential price of anarchy for m identical machines under arbitrary and LPT orders, and suggest insights into the case of two unrelated machines.
