Time Allocation and Task Juggling [PDF]

American Economic Review, 2014
A single worker allocates her time among different projects which are progressively assigned. When the worker works on too many projects at the same time, the output rate decreases and completion time increases according to a law which we derive. We call this phenomenon “task juggling” and argue that it is pervasive in the workplace. We show that task

An Optimized Multirobot Task Allocation [PDF]

2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology, 2008
Multirobot systems (MRS) hold the promise of improved performance and increased fault tolerance for large-scale problems. One of the most important aspects in the design of MRS is the allocation of tasks among the robots in a productive and efficient manner.

Visualizing resource allocation tasks

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1997
Allocating resources-whether labor or tools-is a ubiquitous task in factories, hospitals, airlines and communication network companies. It also exemplifies decision-making problems involving complex, changing criteria and presents unusual challenges to information systems from the modeling and problem-solving points of view.

Task allocation in networks of satellites with Keplerian dynamics

, 2012
The management of distributed satellite systems requires the coordination of a large number of heterogeneous spacecraft. Task allocation in such a system is complicated by limited communication and individual satellite dynamics.

Task Allocation in Ant Colonies [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we propose a mathematical model for studying the phenomenon of division of labor in ant colonies. Inside this model we investigate how simple task allocation mechanisms can be used to achieve an optimal division of labor.

Task Allocation Mechanism of UAV

, 2023
In the past few decades, as a prominent representative of the third generation of intelligent robots, drones have taken the lead in developing from single task to multi machine collaborative work. Research has shown that using multiple drones to search for target areas can expand the search field, improve the efficiency of drones in completing tasks ...

Task allocation for distributed stream processing [PDF]

IEEE INFOCOM 2016 - The 35th Annual IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications, 2016
There is a growing demand for live, on-the-fly processing of increasingly large amounts of data. In order to ensure the timely and reliable processing of streaming data, a variety of distributed stream processing architectures and platforms have been developed, which handle the fundamental tasks of (dynamically) assigning processing tasks to the ...
