Cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. It merges a lot of physical resources and offers them to users as services according to service level agreement. Therefore, resource management alongside with task scheduling has direct influence on cloud networks’ performance and efficiency. Presenting a proper scheduling ...

to use services transparently in a distributed environment, the utility grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. the parameters of the quality of service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the utility grids. optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one ano...

Open-space emergency evacuation is the movement of people away the threat in the short time. Task allocation is a fundamental research challenge in emergency evacuation domain of multi-agent systems (MAS). This paper proposes the multi-agent task allocation model which is called EV-GAP. Accordingly, the capability of agent was redefined to satisfy the requirement of open-space emergency evacuat...

We address the Online Multi-Robot Task Allocation (OMRTA) problem. Our approach relies on a computational and sensing fabric of networked sensors embedded into the environment. This sensor network acts as a distributed sensor and computational platform which computes a solution to OMRTA and directs robots to the vicinity of tasks. We term this Distributed In-Network Task Allocation (DINTA). We ...

Task allocation of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) with low task cost is an important research area which assigns USVs from starting points to different target complete tasks. Most the lines are using heuristic algorithms obtain suboptimal solutions reduce both max and total cost. In practice, reducing maximum more time, departure last USV arriving at designated position. this paper, exact alg...

Because of current market trends, the evaluation of task allocation strategies in multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) must take into account both performance and energy consumption. Furthermore, complex interconnection structures, such as networks-on-chip (NoCs), must be considered. Simulators for the evaluation of energy consumption of detailed communication patterns in NoCs are available,...

In this paper, we study a robot swarm that has to perform task allocation in an environment that features periodic properties. In this environment, tasks appear in different areas following periodic temporal patterns. The swarm has to reallocate its workforce periodically, performing a temporal task allocation that must be synchronized with the environment to be effective. We tackle temporal ta...

Task allocation is considered an important activity in software project management. However, the process of allocating tasks in agile software development teams has not received much attention in empirical research. Through a pilot study involving mixed open-ended and closed-ended interviews questions with 11 agile software practitioners working within a software development organization in Ind...

In the field of cooperative robotics, task allocation is an issue receiving much attention. When researchers design, build, and use cooperative multi-robot system, they invariably try to answer the question of which robot should execute which task. This is in fact a multirobot task allocation problem (MRTA). The task allocation problem addresses the question of finding the task-to-robot assignm...
