An Optimal Way of Task Allocation
- Details
Task Assignment with Autonomous and Controlled Agents was the topic of an interactive seminar given by Dr. Florian Biermann at ISET on November 20, 2013. The assignment problem is one of the most famous branches of operational research. The general problem concerns a situation whereby one has a number of tasks that should be divided among employees. The purpose of the seminar was to show an algorithm for optimal task allocation among autonomous and controlled agents.
Dr. Biermann immediately attracted the attention of the audience by introducing an interesting and very suitable example concerning ISET. The example was as follows: four tasks need to be divided among four agents (four ISET faculty members), the efficiency of the different tasks done by different faculty members is different. The aim was to find the way that the tasks should be divided in order to maximize the outcome for the institution.
