Joint Task and Computing Resource Allocation in Distributed Edge Computing Systems via Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering
Edge servers can collaborate to enhance service capability. However, cloud servers may be unable to execute centralized management due to unpredictable communications.

Task allocation in manufacturing: A review

Journal of Industrial Information Integration, 2019
Abstract Task allocation (TA) problem is of critical importance in manufacturing industry, and determines the effectiveness and efficiency of advanced manufacturing systems. A proper TA approach can give an optimized arrangement of existing resources, enable manufacturing system's flexibility, thus improve both economic performance and social ...

Preferences of agents in decentralized task allocation [PDF]

AI Communications, 2009
The ability to express preferences for specific tasks in multi-agent auctions is an important element for potential users who are considering to use such auctioning systems. This paper presents an approach to make such preferences explicit and to use these preferences in bids for reverse combinatorial auctions.

Task allocation for reconfigurable teams

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2015
Self-reconfigurable robots are systems built from a collection of modules that have the ability to form themselves into many different topologies. This includes forming robots of different shapes, but also includes dividing and merging to form different numbers of physically independent robots during the course of the mission.

Task Allocation by Parallel Evolutionary Computing

Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 1997
In this paper we will investigate the applicability of parallel evolutionary algorithms to the task allocation problem?a long standing problem in parallel computing. Three different evolutionary optimization strategies, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and steepest descent, are formulated in a parallel generic framework. In order to enhance the

Integration of dependability in a task allocation problem

IMTC/2002. Proceedings of the 19th IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat. No.00CH37276), 2003
The tasks allocation on various components or processing units composing an automation system needs a design-aided methodology in order to both obtain relevant architecture of this automation system and a sufficiently efficient tasks allocation.

Task Allocation in a Multi-Server System

Journal of Scheduling, 2003
We consider a slotted queueing system with C servers (processors) that can handle tasks (jobs). Tasks arrive in batches of random size at the start of every slot. Any task can be executed by any server in one slot with success probability α. If a task execution fails, then the task must be handled in some later time slot until it has been completed ...

Task allocation in the star graph

IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 1994
The star graph has been known as an attractive candidate for interconnecting a large number of processors. The hierarchy of the star graph allows the assignment of its special subgraphs (substars), which have the same topological features as the original graph, to a sequence of incoming tasks.
