Multitasking has always been an inherent part of software development and is known as the primary source of interruptions due to task switching in software development teams. Developing software involves a mix of analytical and creative…

For delivering products or services to their clients, organizations execute manifold business processes. During such execution, upcoming process tasks need to be allocated to internal resources. Resource allocation is a complex…

We propose a decentralized game-theoretic framework for dynamic task allocation problems for multi-agent systems. In our problem formulation, the agents' utilities depend on both the rewards and the costs associated with the successful…

One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicle drivers have both local and global objectives, which…

Field-deployable edge computing nodes form a network and are used to complete scientific tasks for remote sensing and monitoring. The networked nodes collectively decide which scientific applications to run while they are constrained by…

A main characteristic of crowdsourcing software development (CSD) is the complexity of tasks and skills required by workers to achieve successful software crowdsourcing. The tasks proposed to the crowd in CSD are checked to ensure they are…

In this paper, we propose a recommendation approach -- TaskAllocator -- in order to predict the assignment of incoming tasks to potential befitting roles. The proposed approach, identifying team roles rather than individual persons, allows…

In important applications involving multi-task networks with multiple objectives, agents in the network need to decide between these multiple objectives and reach an agreement about which single objective to follow for the network. In this…
