Role assignment is a critical task in role-based collaboration. It has three steps, ie, agent
evaluation, group role assignment, and role transfer, where group role assignment is a time …

Many-to-Many (MM) role transfers are generalized problems that are encountered in
collaboration. Exhaustive-search-based algorithms are too computationally intensive. This …

Role assignment is a critical element in the role-based collaboration process. There are
many constraints to be considered when undertaking this task. This paper formalizes the …

Collaboration is complex. To solve a problem occurring in collaboration, using computers,
we must first define and specify the problem. This paper presents a challenging problem in …

Despite the success of the BDI approach to agent teamwork, initial role allocation (ie
deciding which agents to allocate to key roles in the team) and role reallocation upon failure …

In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large
systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to reduce …

Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) systems are computer-based tools that
support collaborative activities. They should meet the requirements of normal collaborative …

Task assignment is one of the core steps to effectively exploit the capabilities of distributed
or parallel computing systems. The task assignment problem is an NP-complete problem. In …
