A Distributed Anytime Algorithm for Dynamic Task Allocation in Multi-Agent Systems
We introduce a novel distributed algorithm for multi-agent task allocation problems where the sets of tasks and agents constantly change over time. We build on an existing anytime algorithm (fast-max-sum), and give it significant new capabilities: namely,

Task Allocation Using a Team of Robots
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTask allocation using a team or coalition of robots is one of the most important problems in robotics, computer science, operational research, and artificial intelligence. We present a survey of multi-robot task allocation covering many problem variants and solution approaches, both centralized and decentralized.Recent ...

Risk allocation strategies for distributed chance-constrained task allocation [PDF]
This paper addresses the issue of allocating risk amongst agents in distributed chance-constrained planning algorithms. Building on previous research that extended chance-constrained planning to stochastic multi-agent multi-task missions, this paper ...

Distributed Reliable and Efficient Transmission Task Assignment for WSNs
Task assignment is a crucial problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that may affect the completion quality of sensing tasks. From the perspective of global optimization, a transmission-oriented reliable and energy-efficient task allocation (TRETA) is

A Robust, Distributed Task Allocation Algorithm for Time-Critical, Multi Agent Systems Operating in Uncertain Environments [PDF]
The aim of this work is to produce and test a robust, distributed, mul-ti-agent task allocation algorithm, as these are scarce and not well-documented in the literature. The vehicle used to create the robust system is the Performance Impact algorithm (PI)

Task Allocation in Multistate Systems
Multistate task allocation inspired by social-insect polyethism is treated from the viewpoint of proportionally regulating a population between different states, i.e., the system is homeostatic against external disturbance and environmental change.

Task Allocation on Networks with Execution Uncertainty
We study a single task allocation problem where each worker connects to some other workers to form a network and the task requester only connects to some of the workers. The goal is to design an allocation mechanism such that each worker is incentivized to invite her neighbours to join the allocation, although they are competing for the task. Moreover,
