Collaboration and Multitasking in Networks: Architectures, Bottlenecks, and Capacity
M by the trend toward more collaboration in work flows, we study networks where some activities require the simultaneous processing by multiple types of multitasking human resources. Collaboration imposes constraints on the capacity of the process because multitasking resources have to be simultaneously at the right place. We introduce the notions of collaboration architecture and unavoidable b...

needed. Now assume we construct the required network for all network sizes less than or equal to I−1. We next add an activity (numbered I) as follows. For each node i in the current graph (a total of I − 1 nodes) create a (new) resource ki, assign it to activity i and add it to K (before this step K = 3 + ∑I−2 i=3 i). Assign all these new resources to the new activity I. That is, R({I}) is the ...
متن کاملCollaboration in Networks: Architectures, Bottlenecks and Throughput
Motivated by the trend towards more collaboration in work flows, we study stochastic processing networks where some activities require the simultaneous collaboration of multiple human resources. Collaboration introduces resource synchronization requirements that are not captured in the standard procedure (formalized through a static planning problem) to identify bottlenecks and theoretical capa...
متن کاملCollaboration and Multitasking in Networks: Capacity versus Queue Control
Motivated by the trend towards more collaboration in work flows, we study networks where some activities require the simultaneous processing by multiple types of multitasking human or indivisible resources. The capacity of such networks is generally smaller than the bottleneck capacity. In Gurvich and Van Mieghem (2015) we proved that both capacities are equal in networks with a nested collabor...
متن کاملCollaboration and Multitasking in Networks: Aligning Task Priorities and Collaboration Levels
Motivated by the trend towards more collaboration in team work, we study networks where some tasks require the simultaneous processing by multiple types of multitasking human or indivisible resources. The capacity of such networks is generally smaller than the bottleneck capacity. In Gurvich and Van Mieghem (2015) we proved that both capacities are equal in networks with a hierarchical collabor...
