Abstract:

Task allocation is one of the most important research issues in multi Agent systems (MAS). Task allocation algorithms assign the appropriate agents to the tasks in order to achieve the global optimization. Based on the analysis of typical control architectures of MAS, the characteristics of task allocation problem in centralized MAS are compared with distributed one, and the centralized and distributed task allocation algorithms in MAS are surveyed. Finally, the future research direction of task allocation in MAS from theoretical and applied aspect is provided.
