The emergence of the Internet of things and the widespread deployment of diverse
computing systems have led to the formation of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MAS) …

With a growing interest in high-performing work teams and how to form them, a new
computational challenge, denominated Team Formation Problem (TFP), has emerged. After …

In this paper, we present provably-good distributed task assignment algorithms for a
heterogeneous multi-robot system, in which the tasks form disjoint groups and there are …

Abstract Purpose of Review Task allocation using a team or coalition of robots is one of the
most important problems in robotics, computer science, operational research, and artificial …

Previous approaches to select agents to form a team rely on single-agent capabilities, and
team performance is treated as a sum of such known capabilities. Motivated by complex …

Context: Recent developments in modern IT systems including internet of things, edge/fog
computing, or cyber–physical systems support intelligent and seamless interaction between …

In many missions, multiple robots need to cooperate to complete tasks. The workflow of
these multi-robot tasks involves forming coalitions of robots, assigning them to available …

New market-based decentralized algorithms are proposed for the task assignment of
multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in dynamic environments with a limited communication …

This paper investigates task allocation for multiple robots by applying the game theory-
based negotiation approach. Based on the initial task allocation using a contract net-based …

A coalition as a group of agents aims to work jointly to earn much more gains as a result of
their cooperation. Many existing studies assumed that members take advantage of joining …
