Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In task allocation problems, efficiency of an allocation is strongly dependent on relationship between properties of tasks and ability that agents have. In previous work, however, it has not been considered that what types of abilities are required to process the tasks and how high each task processing ability the agents have. Furthermore, since it becomes harder to solve large-scale problems as the number of tasks and/or agents increase, the scalability of solution methods are fundamental issue for the task allocation problems. In this paper, we propose a solution method based on population games for task allocation problems with the differences of properties between tasks and those of abilities between agents. Using the previous results for the population games, a simple revision protocol of processing task for each agent is also introduced for finding an optimal solution by distributed manner.
