چکیده

Multi-agent resource allocation is a growing area of research at the frontier between Economics and Computer Science. Despite the extensive theoretical work and raising number of practical applications, many fundamental problems in multi-agent resource allocation still require adequate attention to its computational aspects. This paper addresses computational aspects of multi-agent resource allocation through the use of a fully declarative and highly expressive logic programming paradigm – Answer Set Programming – to provide uniform, general and flexible solutions to many multi-agent resource allocation problems in a compact and declarative manner.

Automated Resource Allocation in Business Processes with Answer Set Programming

Human resources are of central importance for executing and supervising business processes. An optimal resource allocation can dramatically improve undesirable consequences of resource shortages. However, existing approaches for resource allocation have some limitations, e.g., they do not consider concurrent process instances or loops in business processes, which may greatly alter resource requ...

Allocating Fixed Costs: A Goal Programming Model Based on Data Envelopment Analysis

Today the most organizations (e.g. banks and insurance institutes) consist of the various units which under the control of the main organization (unified management) act independently. Sometimes the manager presents some services which incur costs such as advertisement and introducing a new technology. Most organizations consist of several individual units. Resource allocation issue appe...

Resource Allocation with Dependencies in Business Process Management Systems

Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) facilitate the execution of business processes by coordinating all involved resources. Traditional BPMS assume that these resources are independent from one another, which justifies a greedy allocation strategy of offering each work item as soon as it becomes available. In this paper, we develop a formal technique to derive an optimal schedule for work...
