The automated assignment of multiple tasks to executing agents is a key problem in the area of multi-agent systems. In many domains, significant savings can be achieved by reallocating tasks among agents with different costs for handling tasks. The automation of task reallocation among self-interested agents requires that the individual agents use a common negotiation protocol that prescribes how they have to interact in order to come to an agreement on "who does what". In this paper, we introduce the multi-agent Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) as an example of task reallocation problem, and suggest the Vickery auction as an interagent negotiation protocol for solving this problem. In general, auction-based protocols show several advantageous features: they are easily implementable, they enforce an efficient assignment process, and they guarantce an agreement even in scenarios in which the agents possess only very little domain-specific Knowledge. Furthermore Vickrey auctions have the additional advantage that each interested agent bids only once and that the dominant strategy is to bid one′s true valuation. In order to apply this market-based protocol into task reallocation among self-interested agents, we define the profit of each agent, the goal of negotiation, tasks to be traded out through auctions, the bidding strategy, and the sequence of auctions. Through several experiments with sample multi-agent TSPs, we show that the task allocation can improve monotonically at each step and then finally an optimal task allocation can be found with this protocol.

본 논문은 다수의 목표물과 다수의 임무가 존재하는 상황에서의 다수 무인항공기의 임무할당 문제를 다룬다. 다수 무인항공기의 임무할당 문제는 순회 세일즈맨 문제, 차량 라우팅 문제와 같은 조합최적화 문제의 일종으로 NP-hard의 계산 복잡도를 가지고 있다. 이런 성격의 문제는 문제의 크기가 커질수록 계산시간이 급격히 증가하는 특징을 지니기 때문에 문제를 효율적으로 풀기 위해서 근사화 방법 또는 발견적인 방법을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 임무할당 문제를 혼합정수 선형계획 문제로 정식화하고, 혼합정수 선형계획법과 유전 알고리듬으로 해를 구하였다. 다수의 목표물, 다수의 임무, 장애물이 존재하는 환경에 대한 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 각 방법의 최적성과 효율성에 대해 검토하였다.

Researches about scheduling distributed real-time systems have some weak points, not scheduling both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages or being unable to guaranteeing the end-to-end constraints due to omitting precedence relations between sporadic tasks. This paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system. It is shown that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints. So this paper proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm which considers the practical laxity of a task and allocates a proper priority to a task.

This work presents a method of point to surface assignment fur 3D metrology of solder pastes on PCB. A bounding box enclosing the solder paste tightly on all sides is introduced to avoid incorrect assignment. The shape of bounding box fur solder paste brick is variable according to geometry of measured points. The surface geometry of bounding box is obtained by using five peaks selected in the histogram of normalized gradient vectors. By using the bounding box enclosing the solder pastes, the task of point-to-surface assignment has been successfully conducted, then geometrical features are obtained through the task of surface fitting.

The Generalized Assignment (GAP) determines the minimum assignment of n tasks to m workstations such that each task is assigned to exactly one workstation, subject to the capacity of a workstation. In this paper, we presented a new heuristic search algorithm for GAPs. Then we tested it on 4 different benchmark sample sets of random problems generated according to uniform distribution on a microcomputer.

The necessity of university's educational change is rising up, along with a social environment that keeps changing. This study deals with a newly educational style by recognizing the necessity of variance for engineering education, according to engineers' diversified roles within a company. The study was conducted by 7 members of middle-sized group, replaced from 5 members of small-sized and each was given his task by his job such as CEO, CMO, CSO, CIO, CCO, CQO or Auditor. On the basis of four theoretical backgrounds, this paper investigated students' level of learning satisfaction shown before and after task undertaking through a questionnaire and appraised the result made before and after task undertaking. This study is expected to improve a teaching method of university engineering education.

This paper deals with the problem of mixed model assembly line balancing. In mixed model assembly lines, tsks should be assigned to stations in such a manner that all stations have approximately the same amount of work on a production cycle basis. Further in balancing assembly lines, the related tasks, the performing task side and the team tasks should be considered to improve work methods, to give more job satisfaction to workers, and to allow greater flexibility in the design of assembly lines. In this paper, the heuristic dispatch assignment rule is developed to assign evenly tasks of each model to all stations. The heuristic method based on the assignment rule developed is presented for mixed model assembly line balancing with the considerations of the related tasks, the performing task side, and the team tasks. The proposed method is analyzed, and compared with other methods for line balancing.

하둡 맵리듀스(MapReduce)는 사용자가 요청한 잡을 하둡 클러스터에서 효과적으로 병렬 분산 처리하기 위한 프레임워크이다. 맵리듀스의 태스크 스케쥴러는 사용자의 잡 태스크들을 여러 노드에 할당하기 위한 기법이다. 하지만, 기존의 스케쥴러는 노드의 가용 상태에 따라 규모가 동적으로 변화하는 하둡 클러스터를 고려하지 않음으로써 클러스터의 자원을 충분히 활용하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 가용성을 고려하여 잡 태스크를 효과적으로 할당함으로써 하둡 클러스터의 활용성을 높이는 태스크 할당 정책을 제시한다.

조선소의 지게차는 작업 특성상 무거운 물건을 상/하차하거나 이송하는 작업이 빈번하다. 작업은 동적이며 시간대별로 생성 비율이 다르다. 특히 오전과 오후 업무시간 직후에 작업 발생 비율이 높은 경향을 보인다. 이러한 상/하차 작업과 이송작업의 무게는 매번 다르며, 활용되는 지게차 역시 작업 가능한 허용무게의 제약이 있다. 본 연구에서는 지게차의 원활한 운영을 위해 최소 비용할당을 사용한 최근린 배차 규칙 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제시된 알고리즘은 다양한 종류의 지게차와 다수의 작업을 동시에 고려하여 배차를 결정하며, 지게차 종류에 따른 작업 불가능을 고려하기 위해 가상 지게차와 가상 작업을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 차량의 상태를 고려하여 체계적으로 지게차를 선택하는 방법도 함께 제시한다. 성능지표는 평균 공차이동거리와 평균 작업대기시간으로 한다. 성능비교를 위해 조선소의 지게차 운영방식을 모델링한 우선순위 규칙을 비교 대상으로 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시한 알고리즘의 우수성을 확인한다.

The crowdsourcing software development (CSD) is growing rapidly in the open call format in a competitive environment. In CSD, tasks are posted on a web-based CSD platform for CSD workers to compete for the task and win rewards. Task searching and assigning are very important aspects of the CSD environment because tasks posted on different platforms are in hundreds. To search and evaluate a thousand submissions on the platform are very difficult and time-consuming process for both the developer and platform. However, there are many other problems that are affecting CSD quality and reliability of CSD workers to assign the task which include the required knowledge, large participation, time complexity and incentive motivations. In order to attract the right person for the right task, the execution of action plans will help the CSD platform as well the CSD worker for the best matching with their tasks. This study formalized the task assignment method by utilizing different situations in a CSD competition-based environment in artificial intelligence (AI) planning. The results from this study suggested that assigning the task has many challenges whenever there are undefined conditions, especially in a competitive environment. Our main focus is to evaluate the AI automated planning to provide the best possible solution to matching the CSD worker with their personality type.
