Multi-robot task-allocation through vacancy chains
Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...

On the cost-ineffectiveness of redundancy in commercial P2P computing
We present a game-theoretic model of the interactions between server and clients in a constrained family of commercial P2P computations (where clients are financially compensated...

n-Cycle: a set of algorithms for task distribution on a commodity grid
— The global internet is rich in commodity resources but scarce in specialized resources. We argue that a grid framework can achieve better performance if it separates management...

Market-Based Distributed Task Selection in Multi-agent Swarms
We consider the problem of distributed task allocation across swarm units comprising a swarm-based system. We model task allocation as a dynamic pricing problem within a market se...

Learning and exploiting knowledge in multi-agent task allocation problems
Imagine a group of cooperating agents attempting to allocate tasks amongst themselves without knowledge of their own capabilities. Over time, they develop a belief of their own sk...

Distributed task allocation in social networks
This paper proposes a new variant of the task allocation problem, where the agents are connected in a social network and tasks arrive at the agents distributed over the network. W...

An Application of Automated Negotiation to Distributed Task Allocation
Through automated negotiation we aim to improve task allocation in a distributed sensor network. In particular, we look at a type of adaptive weather-sensing radar that permits th...
