    The problem to be considered is one of scheduling nonpreemptable, independent tasks on one machine subject to non-equal ready times. The objective is to find a schedule with a minimum value of mean weighted flow time. Since the problem is known to be NP-hard, the authors propose a new branch-and-bound algorithm for solving it. Its efficiency is improved by new branching and dominance rules.
