Methods for Task Allocation via Agent Coalition Formation
Task execution in multi-agent environments may require cooperation among agents. Given a set of agents and a set of tasks which they have to satisfy, we consider situations where ...

Task dynamics in self-organising task groups: expertise, motivational, and performance differences of specialists and generalist
Abstract Multi-agent simulation is applied to explore how different types of task variety cause workgroups to change their task allocation accordingly. We studied two groups, gener...

Multi-agent task allocation: learning when to say no
This paper presents a communication-less multi-agent task allocation procedure that allows agents to use past experience to make non-greedy decisions about task assignments. Exper...

Adaptive Task Allocation Inspired by a Model of Division of Labor in Social Insects
Social insects provide us with a powerful metaphor to create decentralized systems of simple interacting, and often mobile, agents. The emergent collective intelligence of social i...
