The prevalence of distributed energy resources encourages the concept of an electricity
“Prosumer (Producer and Consumer)”. This paper proposes a distributed electricity trading …

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 …

The objective of coalition formation is to partition the agent set that gives the highest utility to
the system. Over the past three decades, the process of coalition formation has been applied …

With the rapid technological advancements and the ever-evolving complex systems, the
identification and integration of the components and resources for the functioning of multi …

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 …

To boost productivity and efficiency, construction robots are anticipated to become
increasingly prevalent in future construction workplaces. In such multi-robot environments …

This paper focuses on task allocation with single-task robots, multi-robot tasks and
instantaneous assignment, which has been shown to be strongly NP-hard. Although this …

This paper focuses on coalition formation for task allocation in both multi-agent and multi-
robot domains. Two different problem formalizations are considered, one for multi-agent …

We study task composition in crowdsourcing and the effect of personalization and diversity
on performance. A central process in crowdsourcing is task assignment, the mechanism …

In this paper, we study the NP-Hard problem of multi-robot coalition formation for task
allocation. To tackle this notoriously difficult problem, we model it as a variant of classical …
